CDC claims it backtracked on recommending travelers wear face masks to avoid monkeypox because it was 'causing confusion': 31 confirmed cases in the US including seven in New York and six in California (www.dailymail.co.uk)

The CDC backtracked on advice calling on travelers to wear face masks to protect themselves against monkeypox because it was 'causing confusion', the agency claimed Tuesday.

Late yesterday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) deleted this guidance from its website — just 13 hours after it was reported by the media.

A spokeswoman for the agency told DailyMail.com today that it was removed because of concerns many Americans were being left unsure how to protect themselves abroad.
