#LassaFever is a viral infection primarily transmitted to humans through direct contact, eating food or drinking water contaminated with urine, faeces, saliva or blood of infected rats.

Store foodstuff in rodent-proof containers, maintain clean environmental & hand hygiene.

Unwashed hands, untreated water, uncovered food are some of the ways #Cholera germs are spread.

Personal & environmental hygiene remain one of the best ways to STOP #Cholera.
