If you haven’t set off yet, don’t rush! Prepare in advance to enjoy a smooth and worry-free journey.

Health Guide for Every Stage of Your Trip

☆ Before You Go:

1. Check for outbreaks: Gather "health intel" on your destination
   Stay updated on infectious disease trends at your destination, especially for international travel. Learn about outbreaks such as dengue fever, chikungunya, malaria, and mpox in advance.

2. Pack a "health kit":
   Bring common medicines, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, and similar items.

☆ During Your Trip:

1. Food safety:
   Avoid raw or cold foods. Ensure meat and seafood are thoroughly cooked, wash fruits properly, and do not drink untreated water. Prevent stomach issues from disrupting your trip!

2. Mosquito protection:
   When traveling to areas with lots of mosquitoes, wear light-colored long-sleeved shirts and pants, apply insect repellent, and avoid lingering near grassy areas during early mornings and evenings—when mosquitoes are most active.

3. Personal hygiene:
   Don’t rush to lie down as soon as you enter your hotel room! Open the windows for ventilation first. Use disinfectant wipes to clean frequently touched surfaces like remote controls, and bring your own towel for extra peace of mind.

☆ After Returning:

1. Health monitoring:
   Pay close attention to how you’re feeling. If symptoms like fever, cough, diarrhea, or rash occur, seek medical help promptly and inform the doctor about your travel history.

2. Important reminder:
   If you already have symptoms of an infectious disease, such as fever or cough, before your trip, consider postponing your travel plans.
