Index – Abroad – Experts say smallpox patients should avoid contact with animals

The BBC Monkeypox has been identified in 106 people in the UK so far. According to the government, no cases have been reported in pets so far, and the risk of infection remains low.

There is concern that the virus can spread to pets and will primarily lead to pingers between them and humans. If we are not careful, we can create an animal vector of the disease, which can spread the disease back to humans and enter the cycle of infection.

Said Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at the University of Warwick.

Guidance from the UKHSA and other health authorities recommends that pet rodents and other pets, such as dogs and cats, be isolated from the home of a person with smallpox for 21 days and kept under regular veterinary supervision “to ensure that there are no clinical signs and symptoms”.

The Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (Defra) also recommends that smallpox patients avoid caring for and grooming their pets if possible.
