  1. Ensure that the food you eat is not contaminated by bats or their feces. Avoid consuming fruits bitten by bats.
  2. Avoid drinking toddy that is brewed in open containers near palm trees.
  3. Avoid contact with anyone who has contracted the disease. Sanitize and wash your hands thoroughly if you happen to visit someone with NiV.
  4. Clothes, utensils and items typically used in the toilet or bathroom, like buckets and mugs, should be cleaned separately and maintained hygienically.
  5. It is important to cover the face while transporting the dead body of anyone who dies after contracting Nipah fever. Refrain from hugging or kissing the dead person and take precautions while bathing the body before cremation or burial.
