Factsheet: Preventing Mpox Spread in Congregate Living Settings

Factsheet provides information on limiting the spread of mpox in congregate living settings, including correctional and detention facilities, homeless shelters, group homes, dormitories at institutes of higher education, seasonal worker housing, and residential substance use treatment facilities. The factsheet provides detailed preventative measures including communication strategies between staff, volunteers, and residents, responding to cases and exposures with appropriate isolation measures, facilitating handwashing, sanitizing living spaces, and providing personal protective equipment (PPE) as needed.
