Abstract
A certified nursing assistant at a long-term care facility worked 3 shifts while infectious with monkeypox virus providing direct care to facility residents. Despite exposures and a delay of 16 days from symptom onset to diagnosis and public health notification, there is no evidence of transmission. We describe details of this health care-associated exposure, public health response, situational risk factors for transmission, and discuss factors that might have contributed to the lack of transmission.
