A senior Chinese health official has warned people against skin-to-skin contact with strangers to avoid contracting monkeypox, sparking a backlash among the country’s dwindling expatriate community.

China reported its first case of the infectious disease in Chongqing, a municipality in the southwestern part of the country, on Friday. The patient has been isolated and the risk of an outbreak is low, the local health commission said in a statement posted on its website.
