• Eat cooked food immediately, while it is still warm and store remaining food safely.
• Reheat cooked food thoroughly before eating.
• Avoid contact between raw food and cooked food.
• Wash vegetables thoroughly with [SA1] and safe water before eating.
• Eat fruit and vegetables you have peeled yourself.
• Wash the cooking utensils, surfaces and food storage containers especially well with soap and safe water.
• Wash your utensils and dishes with soap and safe water.
• Encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, and complementary breastfeeding until the age of two years (especially when a child is sick), even if the mother is infected with cholera.
