A statement from the Ministry of Health stated: "Monkeypox is a viral disease, but usually self-limiting compared with COVID-19. The virus is usually passed to humans through close contact with an infected person or animal, such as through bodily fluids or dropped respiratory droplets. It can also be transmitted to people during pregnancy."

MoHaP urged community members to exercise appropriate precautions and preventive measures when traveling as well as avoid risky behavior when around large crowds.

Furthermore, it reassured all UAE community members that all necessary measures are being taken, including investigations, examinations of contacts, and health monitoring.

Furthermore, the Ministry stated that it cooperates with other health authorities in the organization of an epidemiological surveillance system, following international best practices, in order to ensure sustainability, community protection against communicable diseases, as well as rapid detection, as well as work to limit spreading of disease, viruses, and monkeypox.

There is a comprehensive guide for dealing with monkeypox-infected people and their contacts that takes into account a unified national medical approach that includes complete isolation in hospitals for the infected until they recover, quarantining the infected for as long as 21 days at home, monitoring their health condition, and enforcing home isolation."

To stay informed about relevant developments and health guidelines issued by the UAE health authorities, the Ministry stressed the importance of receiving information from official sources in the UAE and abstaining from spreading false rumours and false information.
