Do not buy fruits which are bitten or have scratches: This is what you need to check before buying fruits. It is always better to buy handpicked fruits rather than the packed ones. Also Read - What makes instant noodles so bad?



Wash the fruits thoroughly: Just washing is not enough. Doctors suggest you immerse the fruits in water for longer period before you eat them. The bacteria and virus can be washed off this way from the fruit surface. Also Read - 5 foods that can drain your energy and leave you tired

Discard fruit skin: In case of thick skinned fruits like watermelons and muskmelons, make sure you discard the skin and eat only the inside part.

Check the surface of fruits: Specifically, for fruits like chickoo, banana and mango, make sure you carefully check their surface before you consume them.

Hygiene practice can help: Wash your vegetables thoroughly while eating. Do not miss to wash your hands before eating. Cover up while coughing or sneezing as this virus mostly spreads through respiratory secretion. Do not share food and bed with the infected person.

Government should be prepared as well
Health experts believe that the government should be well prepared to face the situation in case there is another Nipah virus outbreak in the country. A food safety regular plan is a great way of monitoring the fruits and veggies sold across the country or the state. Samples of clean fruits should be checked in the laboratory. Also, it is important to find out if water has any role in the spread of this virus. If found so, steps should be taken at civic body level to prevent it.
