After the first known case of monkeypox in China was reported on Friday, a senior Chinese health official advised people to avoid physical contact with foreigners to avoid infection.
“Do not have direct skin-to-skin contact with foreigners,” Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted on his official Weibo page on Saturday.
His post made social media rounds, with many calling the statements racist.
