A top Chinese health official has advised that people should avoid skin contact with foreigners and with people who have recently returned from international travel in order to curb the spread of Monkeypox. News agency PTI has reported that China's top epidemiologist Wu Zunyou warned citizens not to have skin contact with foreigners and recent returnees from abroad to avoid contracting the disease. Another Weibo user said she found Wu’s description “very inappropriate". Another Weibo user wrote, “Is he (Wu) referring to a sexual relationship or just skin-to-skin contact? It’s also hard to avoid skin contact on the bus."
