The Malaysian Government is currently educating people in the Tsunami affected areas and relief centers on the precautionary measures against water and food borne diseases. As a proactive measure, please observe the followings when eating out especially in the affected areas:
- Drink only boiled or bottled water, water that has been treated with chlorine, or carbonated beverages.
- Avoid ice, as it may be made with unsafe water.
- Choose food that has been thoroughly cooked while fresh and is served hot. Avoid pre-peeled fruit or salad, fish, and shellfish. Fruit that you wash and peel yourself is safe.
- Try to abstain from eating out, particularly at hawker stalls where utensils and crockery are not washed thoroughly with running water.
- Keep food and drinks covered. Do not expose them to flies.
- Maintain high levels of personal hygiene.
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the toilet, before preparation and serving of food, and before eating.
