     i.         People must avoid contact with persons suspected to be infected with Monkey Pox at home and at work places.

  vi.        All Veterinary Clinics, Veterinary Teaching Hospitals and other Veterinary Health Institutions across the country must ensure vigilance so as to be able to pick possible signs and symptoms of Monkey Pox in non-human primate (NHP) patients.

vii.        We must also ensure regular handwashing using strong disinfectant anytime we handle NHP and rodents in our various locations.

viii.        We must also discourage the act of consumption, trade and keeping of NHP as well as rodents as pets in our homes.

 ix.        The general public are hereby advised to report any pox-like lesions seen on humans or animals to the nearest human or veterinary clinics respectively.
