A top Chinese health official has warned people against touching foreigners, a day after mainland China confirmed its first case of monkeypox, local media reported. Wu Zunyou wrote on China's Twitter-like platform Weibo on Saturday that the country's Covid-19 restrictions and tight border controls had thus far prevented the spread of monkeypox - until a case "slipped through the net".
