The guide highlights how travellers can protect themselves from malaria when visiting high-risk areas. It explains that malaria is spread through mosquito bites and emphasizes the importance of taking preventive steps before and during travel to reduce the chance of infection.
Recommended measures include using insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved clothing and trousers, sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets, and staying in air-conditioned or well-ventilated rooms. Travellers are also advised to limit outdoor activities during peak mosquito biting times such as dusk and dawn, and to avoid areas where mosquitoes breed, like stagnant water, swamps, and ponds.
