How To Prevent And Manage Hepatitis E

Wash Hands With Soap And Water

Patients who want to keep hepatitis E and other viral infections at bay should make sure they wash their hands with soap and hot water regularly. Proper hand hygiene is an effective way of stopping viral infections. The viral particles are passed around when an infected person touches surfaces, sneezes, or even coughs. Washing one's hands regularly can help remove these viral particles from the skin.

Proper hand hygiene involves the use of soap and water. Also, individuals can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to kill infectious microorganisms. It’s recommended to wash hands after caring for a sick person, before handling food, after going to the toilet, after sneezing or blowing the nose, after handling rubbish, and after smoking.
