Staying Healthy This Summer
Through Infectious Disease Prevention
During the summer, when temperatures and humidity rise, the activity of bacteria and viruses increases, leading to a rise in waterborne and foodborne infectious diseases. In addition, frequent outdoor activities result in an increase in mosquito- and tick-borne infectious diseases.
Furthermore, with the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in Southeast Asia, proper hygiene management and proactive prevention are more important than ever.
