Pretty much all known cases of monkeypox infection till last year did not come from droplets suspended in the air that infected other humans, but more direct ways of droplet infection. While it is possible the viral load of such droplets are typically to small. It is much more common that direct contact: sex, kisses, maybe hugs, do transfer it. But so can using clothing of an infected person and maybe shared surfaces ie glasses.

So the main point is that it is typically a droplet infection chain with the usual ways. It is really uncommon to spread from human to human though, unless people are slightly immune compromised(Edit: Which means it is a change to expected behavior that it does transmit so easily now, evolution might've happened) or if local outbreaks about some thresholds happen.

I did translate and condense the main information of some German reader about monkey pox for informed amateurs here. So if you want to wear a mask, but it is in the air not as infectious as covid and keep distance to people and wash your cloth and hands (and theirs).

Dandruff of them can be infectious for a long time if viral secrete is embedded in them, this is one way that if you spend a longer time with someone with monkey pox you can get infected since you might inhale them. Monkey pox is infectious on surfaces for quite a long time, so clean your table wear if you do open kitchens well now.

I am not a medical professional so anything that you read is pure speculation for sci fi novels.
