Don't forget GLOVES! If you feel like you need your own sheets and towels, you need to wear gloves to remove the linens (mind your bare arms!) and bring big trash bags to put them in -- don't just stuff them in the corner. Also, tell housekeeping you don't want to have your room tidied during your stay.
However, I think there's much, much smaller chance that the housekeeper of your hotel room has it verses the people who took the same Uber and on flights/trains with the passengers around you and who had your seat before you.
EDIT: I know they aren't biologically related, but I did not have chicken pox as a child and before a vaccine, As an adult (23yo), I caught chickenpox from a child on a flight and it almost killed me. I had lesions everywhere: INSIDE my mouth, throat, nose, ears, the outside of my genitals even in the inside rim of my eyes. The hospital sedated me for almost 3 weeks. It started out just as this doctor described-- like a flu. Fever, extreme fatigue, swollen glands, sore throat and a few days later, pox lesions.
I'm including this because I was a flight attendant working this particular flight and the child had visible pox, but our captain refused to remove him because he's already flown one leg with our airline earlier in the day. I was the only one who had not had chicken pox, and the child was seated in the second row of coach. I switched to work in the very back galley and all of my colleagues were careful to wash their hands every time the brought or took away anything from the child and his irresponsible mother. I STILL caught the virus. The thing is that like other pox viruses, people are contagious for days before the first lesion appears. If you are super concerned with catching it and you can reasonably do so, I would not take any type of public transportation -- when going through airport security, you or your belongings, including your boarding pass and ID, are going to be touched by at least 5 people, and while they may be wearing gloves, they don't put on fresh gloves between each passenger. There are currently so few cases in the US that I feel comfortable traveling by air (for MonkeyPox) right now, but if we start seeing 50 times the current numbers, I would think twice.

@TRUMPisYourDADDYfor4MoreYears Why do you think the last 5 measles outbreaks in the US were amongst school-aged children? Why do you think the MOST recent outbreak was almost fully contained to children in a burrough consisting almost solely of Orthodox Jewish? IT'S BECAUSE People tend to hang around people with interests and commonalities like their own. Just like orthodox Jewish elementary school-aged children are most likely to socialize and be in contact mainly with other Orthodox Jewish school-aged children, gay males are most likely to socialize with other gay males living in the same area. Why the fcuk is this concep too advanced for you to wrap your head around?
Fyi, monkeypox is not at all like HIV. HIV requires an exchange of bodily fluids for contraction of the virus to occur. MonkeyPox does NOT require this -- although it is not biologically related to chicken pox, it is spread in much the same way. Even though you have something against gay people, for your sake, the sake of your FAMILY, and those in your community, don't believe you, your spouse, your children and your parents aren't susceptible to this virus when, not if, it comes to your community.
