How Can Person-to-Person Transmission Be Prevented?
Effective prevention strategies include:
Vaccination: Immunization can protect individuals and reduce the overall transmission of infectious agents. Hand hygiene: Regular and thorough handwashing with soap and water, or using hand sanitizers, can prevent the spread of pathogens. Use of PPE: Wearing masks, gloves, and other protective gear can reduce direct exposure to infectious agents. Social distancing: Maintaining physical distance from others can reduce the risk of droplet and airborne transmission. Environmental cleaning: Regular disinfection of surfaces and objects can prevent indirect transmission through fomites.
