- Cooked food should not be stored for a long time.

- People with open wounds on their hands or diarrhea should not prepare food.

◇ Wear protective garments, boots, and rubber gloves while re-planting rice.

◇ Remove mosquito habitats and puddles around your house. Refrain from going outdoors at night, wear bright long-sleeve shirts and pants, use mosquito repellents, and take care not to get bitten by mosquitos.
