I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately online, and while some are helpful, others are spreading fear or unverified information. So instead of panicking, let’s focus on facts and keep each other informed.

What We Can Do?
Mpox is not as contagious as COVID-19, but it’s still something we should take seriously. Staying hygienic is key. This is especially important for people who work outside all day and return home to their families. Small things like regular handwashing, keeping your surroundings clean, and avoiding contact with anyone showing symptoms can make a big difference. Let’s not forget what we learned during the pandemic. We do these things not only to protect ourselves, but also to protect the people we love.
Please Be Careful with What You Share
There is currently no announcement of a lockdown, and it’s important that we avoid spreading fear or unverified information. Instead of reposting things just because they’re getting attention, let’s all take a minute to check if it’s true. Panic doesn’t help anyone, but being calm and informed does.
