Explanation:

(a)Make sure to drink and use safe water to brush your teeth, wash and prepare food, and make ice.

Wash your hands often with soap and safe water

Use latrines or bury your poop; do not poop in any body of water.

Cook food well (especially seafood), keep it covered, and eat it hot.

b)Preventive measures include physical or social distancing, quarantining, ventilation of indoor spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, hand washing, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face. The use of face masks or coverings has been recommended in public settings to minimise the risk of transmissions.

c)Mucormycosis or black fungus is a complication caused by fungal infection. People catch mucormycosis by coming in contact with the fungal spores in the environment. It can also develop on the skin after the fungus enters the skin through a cut, scrape, burn, or other type of skin trauma.

d) To reduce your risk of spreading or catching the hepatitis A virus: Always wash your hands thoroughly after using the restroom and when you come in contact with an infected person's blood, stools, or other bodily fluid. Avoid unclean food and water.
