Last month, the National Health Laboratory Service announced that a 30-year-old Johannesburg man had tested positive and had no travel history. A week later, a 32-year-old man from Cape Town also tested positive for monkeypox with no travel history. Ramathuba explains the process of contact tracing for monkeypox. “We look into face-to-face contact, where if you were not wearing a mask, you could have been at risk, we also look at if you had been in contact with the skin of the person who is infected with those skin blister-like lesions. We also look at the issues of your sexual partners, and we also look at the clothing that you were using, the linen, especially in this environment which is a lodge,” says Ramathuba.
