Should we wear mask when we are expose to someone with mono?

If he has it you might get it too. Its the 'kissing disease' just to be safe get checked out by a doctor. I dont think you would need to wear a mask, because it can only be constricted through direct contact from salavia





Spread of the virus can be prevented through:





Careful hand washing with soap and running water, especially after sneezing and coughing and before touching other people


Avoiding saliva contact (eg; kissing) with people who are sick with infectious mononucleosis


Thorough cleaning with soap and water of soiled objects, such as toys of sick children.


Don't share drink containers





Symptoms:





Infection with EBV usually causes no or few symptoms in young children


Teenagers and adults are more likely to become sick if infected


Symptoms include fever, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, tiredness, and feeling generally unwell. The doctor may find swelling of the spleen or liver


The illness usually lasts between one week and several weeks. A small proportion of people can be sick for months


Most people make a complete recovery


Once infected, the virus remains in the body for life.Should we wear mask when we are expose to someone with mono?
Just do ont kiss him and share anytyhing tha twas on his lips or anything tha twas in his mouth. also do not hav esex for a while.
