The risk of you catching cholera when caring for a sick person is low if you take some basic measures to protect yourself at home 😷🧼

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and safe water after taking care, touching the clothes, or bedding of the sick person.
Wash the sick person’s bedding or clothing away from drinking-water sources.
Avoid direct contact with stools and vomit of the sick person. Place all waste in a toilet and ensure the latrine is properly disinfected.
Avoid getting infected through the clothing and bedding of a sick person; to get it clean wash it carefully with hot water and detergent and if you can dry it in direct sunlight.
You can also disinfect clothing and bedding by immersing it in boiling water for five minutes OR immersing it in water with a 0.2% solution of chlorine for at least ten minutes then rinsing.
If the sick person is using the household or community toilet, make sure it is cleaned and disinfected thoroughly after each use.
Don’t let the sick person prepare food.
Mothers should continue to breastfeed infants and young children even if they have been diagnosed with cholera.
