Lassa fever is highly infectious. There are simple actions we can all take to protect ourselves and loved ones:
✔️Store food and grains in tightly covered containers to protect them from contamination by rodents.
✔️Keep rodents out of your home by maintaining clean surroundings, disposing of waste properly, and blocking openings through which rodents can enter.
✔️Avoid direct contact with infected persons and their belongings.
Stay informed. Stay safe.
