Quite a detailed article on whether or not the outbreak can be contained:

"Dr Hans Kluge, head of the WHO’s Europe office, said that although the monkeypox response should not mimic the scale of Covid-style restrictions, health authorities do need to take “significant and urgent” action to mitigate the threat.
“But – and this is important – we do not yet know if we will be able to contain its spread completely,” Dr Kluge warned. The WHO has so far maintained that the world has “an opportunity to stop this outbreak”.
The WHO official added that Europe is currently at the “epicentre of the largest and most geographically widespread monkeypox outbreak ever reported” outside west and central Africa, where the disease is endemic. He suggested the sudden explosion of casess_ suggests transmission was “underway as early as mid-April”.
According to a team at global.healthh_ tracking monkeypox’s spread, 70 per cent of roughly 700 confirmed or suspected cases reported worldwide have been found in Europe, where the transmission has been linked to recent raves, parties and adult saunas. The UKHSA announced 11 more infections in England on Tuesday, taking the UK’s tally to 190.
“The potential for further transmission in Europe and elsewhere over the summer is high,” Dr Kluge warned. “Over the coming months, many of the dozens of festivals and large parties planned provide further contexts where amplification may occur.”
He suggested that as well as isolating cases and monitoring their contacts, health authorities should actively support the organisers of mass gatheringss_ to communicate the risks of the disease – and how to minimise spread. This includes reducing sexual activity.
“We will interrupt transmission if we act now… [to] increase awareness and share information on how people can reduce their risk of exposure, including by reducing the number of sexual partners they have,” Dr Kluge said.
So far, the majority of cases have been idenfitied among men who have sex with men, but Dr Kluge stressed that anyone can be infected. “Young people regardless of gender and sexual orientation or activity” should be aware of how to reduce the risks of catching and spreading monkeypox, he said."
In the UK, the article states:
UK guidance suggests that cases should also abstain from sex while symptomatic and use a condom for eight weeks post-infection as a precaution. The WHO added that it is not yet clear if the virus can also “spread from one person to another through semen or vaginal fluids, nor whether the virus could persist in these bodily fluids for longer periods of time”.
A senior British health official told the Telegraph that pregnant women, children and the immunocompromised at most at risk and should be prioritised for the vaccine if exposed to a monkeypox case, and the next highest priority is promiscuous gay men.
"Those idividuals who are at the greatest risk are those who have more sexual partners, for obvious reasons, and so they also get into that priority group,” they said.
“But that has as an added advantage that even if they didn't get exposed on this occasion, they might be at risk of getting exposed again, because they've got multiple partners.”
They added that monkeypox is not a big threat to public health and widespread community transmission of the virus is “not likely”. Widespread vaccination is also unnecessary, they added, as this “is not a Covid-like situation where the whole country needs to vaccinate.”"
