Answer
Can monkeypox be passed on through casual contact while visiting Mallorca?
Monkeypox spreads mainly through close contact, so casual everyday contact is generally less of a concern than direct skin-to-skin exposure or contact with contaminated materials. Visitors in Mallorca do not need to isolate from normal daily life, but they should avoid close contact if they have symptoms or know they have been exposed. If symptoms appear, medical advice should be sought promptly.
