Mpox update
19 August 2024
You're extremely unlikely to have Mpox if:
- you have not been in close contact (such as touching skin or sharing towels, clothes or bedding) with someone who has Mpox or has mpox symptoms;
- you have not recently travelled to west or central Africa
If you think you have been affected by Mpox:
- Stay at home and avoid close contact with other people, including sharing towels or bedding, until you've been told what to do;
- Call the practice and tell the person you speak to if you have had close contact with someone who has or might have mpox, or if you've recently travelled to central or west Africa;
- Stay at home and call 111 for advice if you're not able to contact a GP
