Drink Bottled Water
Securing clean drinking water is increasingly challenging today, as more pollutants reach waterways and households, it is imperative to ensure water quality. Even so, contamination through water distributed by water concessionaires is unlikely since regular quality testing is imposed. It is still essential to be vigilant.
Securing clean drinking water while traveling or in public is challenging. Especially in countries with clean water issues, the risk of contamination and getting the virus is high. That is why it is much more advisable to drink sealed bottled water. Since Hepatitis A is spreadable through contaminated water, spotting the said virus with the naked eye is impossible. It is better to ensure safety than to risk compromising the body by drinking unsafe water. Ultimately, it is essential to note that proper disposal of water bottles should also be followed.
In the absence of bottled water, boiling or cooking becomes vital. Boiling water ensures microbiological safety by destroying disease-causing microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Bring water from the faucet to a rolling boil for one minute, then allow it to cool before consumption.
