Abstract:Since May 2022, laboratory-confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported in more than 40 non-endemic countries and the epidemic may spread to other countries through human-to-human transmission. This study aims to introduce the characteristics of monkeypox virus and analyze the epidemic situation and the risk of imported cases in Zhejiang Province. Multiple recommendations are proposed to prevent monkeypox epidemics in Zhejiang Province including strengthening entry personnel quarantine, establishing monkeypox monitoring system, carrying out monkeypox-related health education, and making risk assessment and preparation.
