    AUSTIN, Texas – Austin Public Health (APH) reports community
    spread of monkeypox in Austin-Travis County as additional cases
    are identified and confirmed. APH continues to provide key
    information to the public in an effort to prevent the spread of
    monkeypox within the community and educate the public on
    preventative steps they can take to avoid exposure and protect
    themselves.

    People should try to avoid skin-to-skin contact with strangers,
    especially those who have a rash or whose health history is
    unknown. The virus can also be spread through contaminated
    clothing or bed linens, and by sharing eating utensils or cups,
    cigarettes or vaping devices, kissing, and other activities
    where saliva might be exchanged with a person who has monkeypox.

    “We need to be safe and follow practices we’ve learned from
    COVID-19 to prevent the spread of monkeypox here in our
    community,” said Dr. Desmar Walkes, Austin-Travis County Health
    Authority. “Try to reduce close, intimate interactions with
    those whose health history you’re unaware of. Use hand
    sanitizer, and wear masks when in close quarters with others who
    have symptoms.”

    Monkeypox can be spread to anyone, regardless of sexual
    orientation and travel history. While the virus is known for
    causing patients to have a rash, symptoms can also include
    fever, muscle and body aches, headaches, chills and swollen
    lymph nodes.

    “Stigma and blame undermine trust and capacity to respond
    effectively during outbreaks like this one,” said APH Director
    Adrienne Sturrup. “We know from experience that stigmatizing
    rhetoric can disable an evidence-based response with fear,
    driving people away from health services and impeding case
    investigations.”

    As of Tuesday, six monkeypox cases and seven presumptive cases
    were confirmed in Austin-Travis County. Local monkeypox case
    totals will be updated online every Thursday.

    Monkeypox does not spread easily between people without close
    contact. The virus can be transmitted by person-to-person
    contact including:

    Direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs, or body fluids.
    Respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact,
    or during intimate physical contact, such as massages, kissing,
    cuddling, sex, or contact with genitals.
    Touching fabrics and objects that were used by a person with
    monkeypox and that have not been disinfected such as bedding,
    towels, and other personal items.
    Pregnant people can spread the virus to their fetus through the
    placenta.
    Symptoms of monkeypox can include:

    Fever
    Headache
    Muscle aches and backache
    Swollen lymph nodes
    Chills
    Exhaustion
    A rash that can look like pimples or blisters that appears on
    the face, inside the mouth, and on other parts of the body, like
    the hands/palms, feet, chest, genitals, or anus.
    The rash goes through different stages before healing
    completely. The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks.
    There are several measures that can be taken to prevent
    infection with monkeypox:

    Minimize skin-to-skin contact, especially if a person has been
    exposed to the virus, showing a rash or skin sores.
    Avoid contact with any materials, such as bedding, that have
    been in contact with monkeypox.
    Practice good hand hygiene. For example, washing your hands with
    soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
    Use personal protective equipment (PPE), mask, gloves, eye
    protection and gowns when caring for people infected with
    monkeypox.
