Additional advice that can be offered to further reduce risk includes:1

·       protect against insect/tick bites with clothing, use of DEET or other repellent when and where the insects are more active such as wetland, undergrowth/scrub or wooded areas, and use repellent-impregnated bed nets

·       have a good and consistent hand hygiene routine

·       pay attention to what is consumed - eat well-cooked, hot foods and avoid foods or drinks where there is a chance of contamination, eg buffets, raw foods, tap water, drinks with ice in them

·       avoid crowded transport or public places, or people with a persistent cough/sneezing
