Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) Environmental Swab Test

2022-09-28


The whole world is still under the threat of pandemic. Not only the long existence of the COVID-19, but also overseas countries are subject to the spread of the monkeypox virus. The first imported case had been reported in HK recently. Monkeypox can be transmitted from person to person through sexual contact, respiratory droplets and body fluids. It can also be transmitted by in touch with infected fabrics (clothing, bedding or towels), daily necessities and touching surfaces that have been used by the patients. Therefore, hotels, beauty salons, gyms, swimming pool and sauna baths are potentially high-risk venues.
