Should we be concerned about monkeypox at ACL? “For ACL and other large-scale events, it is not no-risk, but it is categorically low-risk,” said Dr. Michael Stefanowiczs with CommUnityCare Health Centers. | mayagfawaz
Dr. Michael Stefanowiczs, associate director of sexual health programs at CommUnityCare Health Centers and a UT Dell Medical School assistant professor, said health care professionals haven’t seen any outbreaks of monkeypox associated with large public gatherings, but he can understand why people may feel anxious.
“For ACL and other large-scale events, it is not no-risk, but it is categorically low-risk,” Stefanowiczs said. Monkeypox is spread through close contact with an infected person, or by touching clothing or linens that were in contact with the infected person’s rash or body fluids, according to Austin Public Health. Symptoms include high fever, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, headaches, chills and a pimple or blister-like rash.
Stefanowiczs urges people to be proactive if they experience any symptoms and to isolate at home as soon as possible to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus.
