CDC Removes Mask Recommendation for Monkeypox

The U.S. CDC has removed monkeypox from its recommendation for masks while traveling because it was causing confusion, since monkeypox is spread primarily through direct contact, rather than through the air. According to Reuters, “The agency had earlier suggested that travelers wear masks as it can help protect against ‘many diseases, including monkeypox’.”   SOURCE: Reuters June 7, 2022
