SayPro Preventing infecting others

If a person is recovering from infection with typhoid fever, they can take the following measures to prevent infecting others:

  • Follow the doctor’s instructions for taking antibiotics and be sure to complete the whole course.
  • Avoid preparing food for others until it is confirmed that you are no longer contagious. It will not be possible to return to a job in the food service industry until tests have confirmed there is no risk of you passing typhoid bacteria.
  • Frequently wash hands using hot, soapy water before preparing or eating food, as well as after using the toilet. Hands should be scrubbed thoroughly for at least 30 seconds.
