President Joe Biden said Monday that doesn’t expect the United States to implement quarantine requirements for people infected by monkeypox as officials in several states have confirmed cases.

When asked during a news conference in Tokyo whether such measures are needed, Biden said, “No, I don’t think so,” and added: “Thus far, it doesn’t seem to be a need for any kind of extra efforts beyond what’s going on.”
