India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has issued a travel advisory and guidelines for all international travelers after a man from Kerala state, who returned from the UAE, tested positive for the monkeypox virus on Thursday.
This marked the first confirmed case of monkeypox in India, after which the Center called a meeting and asked for a high-level multi-disciplinary team to collaborate with the State Health Authorities to work on instituting public health measures.

According to the advisory, while international passengers have been asked to avoid close contact with sick people and dead or wild animals, among other things, they have also been asked to refrain from eating or preparing meat from wild game (bushmeat) or from using products derived from wild animals from Africa.
Travelers have been directed to avoid contact with contaminated materials used by sick people, including their clothing, bedding, or anything that is used for healthcare needs, or that has come in contact with infected animals.
