Second, pay attention to food safety. Keep raw and cooked foods separate during preparation, and cook food thoroughly. Avoid raw, cold, or unhygienic food, and do not drink untreated water. When dining out, choose reputable restaurants and consider using serving chopsticks or opting for individual portions. Third, maintain a clean environment. Open windows regularly to improve indoor ventilation. Clean and disinfect floors, tabletops, and other frequently touched surfaces on a regular basis, and keep living spaces clean and tidy. Fourth, monitor health conditions. Pay close attention to your own health and that of your family members.
