The CDC has <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/notices\/alert\/monkeypox#:~:text=Risk%20to%20the%20general%20public,going%20to%20a%20healthcare%20facility.\">suggested<\/a> in an alert that the threat posed to the general population is \u201clow\u201d but has elevated the threat level from the virus to \u201cAlert \u2013 Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions,\u201d one step below an advisory to avoid non-essential travel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCases of monkeypox have been reported in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia,\u201d the CDC wrote in its alert. \u201cSome cases were reported among men who have sex with men. Some cases were also reported in people who live in the same household as an infected person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mask recommendation was added to the \u201cTravelers\u2019 Health\u201d page on the CDC\u2019s website last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2022\/jun\/7\/cdc-drops-mask-recommendation-monkeypox\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&#038;utm_medium=RSS\">reported<\/a> The Washington Times. As recently as Monday the page <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220606015401\/https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/notices\/alert\/monkeypox\">read<\/a>: \u201cWear a mask. Wearing a mask can help protect you from many diseases, including monkeypox.\u201d As of Tuesday that portion of the page was <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/notices\/alert\/monkeypox\">removed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Washington Times, a spokesperson for the CDC did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on the guidance. It is not clear if the guidance has been reversed. Presently the CDC still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/poxvirus\/monkeypox\/clinicians\/infection-control-home.html\">recommends<\/a> that individuals infected with monkeypox wear surgical masks during quarantine to avoid infecting other members of their household.<\/p>\n<p>Mask mandates have been a subject of considerable controversy in recent months. In April a federal judge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-federal-judge-in-florida-voids-bidens-national-mask-mandate-at-airports-planes-public-transit\">struck down<\/a> the national mask mandate on airports, airplanes, and other types of mass transportation, arguing that the mandate \u201cexceeded the CDC\u2019s statutory authority\u201d and was \u201cunlawful.\u201d The Biden Administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/us-politics\/florida-judge-strikes-transport-mask-mandate-b2060274.html\">described<\/a> that decision as \u201cdisappointing,\u201d and the Department of Justice, at the recommendation of the CDC, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-biden-admin-to-appeal-court-decision-that-ruled-mask-mandate-on-airplanes-was-unlawful\">attempting<\/a> to appeal that ruling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday scrubbed a recommendation that air travelers wear masks to protect against monkeypox, just days after posting the guidance on its website.
