LIBERIA, SUDAN etc).

them on the importance of sanitizers. Get one for your kids to use in
school frequently and if possible for their class.

Markets/Shops that share the same vicinity with live or roasted bush
meat, dealer's or sellers.

and other utilities used by the public.

when handling sick animals or their tissues.

amplification of infection because of the presence of fruits bats on
these farms.

Lastly, stop eating in restaurants you are not sure how they prepared
their food for now. You don't know if the food handlers are sick or
washed their hands or even washed the plates well. Boil all water
