Although we are still all dealing with and trying to recover from a global pandemic, we now need to be aware of a new disease emerging throughout the USA: Monkeypox.  The Center for Disease Control has guidance for how to prevent and manage outbreaks of monkeypox, or la viruela símica o viruela del mono in Spanish.  Since the disease is spread through close contact (to the rash, respiratory secretions or contaminated fabric like clothing, towels etc.), communal housing is a risk.  In fact, the CDC specifically mentions seasonal worker housing as a risk and offers guidance for congregate housing management.  We have made a flyer, in English and  Spanish, for you to use to communicate signs, symptoms and preventive measures with your farm employees.
