It has also advised anyone infected not to have sex while they have symptoms and use condoms for eight weeks after an infection as a precaution.It can enter the body through broken skin or through the eyes, nose or mouth.It has not previously been described as a sexually-transmitted infection, but it can be passed on by direct contact during sex.Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills and exhaustion.
A rash can develop, often beginning on the face, then spreading to other parts of the body, particularly the hands and feet. The rash changes and goes through different stages before finally forming a scab, which later falls off.
