Avoid drinking water from the streets or shops. Also, avoid soft drinks and juices. Don’t forget to carry a water bottle whenever you go outside. Avoid eating food from street-side food stalls or even junk foods from cafes and restaurants. Try to clean the water tank and water purifier at home regularly to prevent germ growth. After using a public toilet, wash your hands properly, if possible, with soap or handwash.
