Jakarta, Spasi-id.com - There are several ways of spreading monkey pox. One of them through direct touch with people or animals exposed.
So, can monkey pox be transmitted through a handshake or a handshake?
The questions upstairs were crowded on social media. In fact, not every case of monkey pox is transmitted through intercourse.
Director of Directorate Health Promotion of the Ministry of Health of RI Imran Agus Nurali explained that monkey pox is indeed contagious through touch, it may also be contagious during the handshake.
"If it's on the Covid-19 trail, the guy from outside then traced who the hell is next to him. It's because of the touch. Unlike Covid-19, by air [droplet]," he said, quoting the Health Seconds.
Imran called, one good step to prevent exposure to monkey pox is by applying strict health protocols. One of them used to wash his hands.
"So PHBS is the key. Because touch, physical touch can be any kind of a handshake. All that time he was washing his hands with soap, he was gone," obviously.
In fact, monkey pox can be sexually transmitted. It is also the answer that monkey pox does not belong to a group of sexually transmitted diseases.
Despite that, it doesn't mean the virus could be contagious easily.

Possibly, it takes hours of touch on a contaminated surface of the virus to then be infected. Or, you should rub the strong skin and mucus of infected people.
"You have to brush it, like a rub brush, to then make a scratch on your skin that can be entered by a monkeypox," obviously, quoting NPR.
"It will then cause wounds on your arms, which we have never seen in this plague,"
In fact, if you live with a person infected with monkey pox, the risk of getting the disease is also very low.
