Rospotrebnadzor announced the absence of the need to wear masks due to monkeypox

“There is no need to wear masks now.

Now there are no risks for the population, ”kp.ru quotes her.

According to the head of Rospotrebnadzor, no cases of importation of the virus have been recorded in Russia.

At the same time, Popova noted that wearing a mask can prevent infection, since the disease is transmitted by contact and airborne droplets.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the largest increase in smallpox-infected monkeys was recorded in Spain (40), Portugal (37) and the UK (20).
