Malaria precautions

• Malaria precautions are essential. Risk is low in all areas, however human P.knowlesi malaria is reported. Bite avoidance is the mainstay of prevention and those with extended travel into rural areas should be particularly vigilant.
• Avoid mosquito bites by covering up with clothing such as long sleeves and long trousers especially after sunset, using insect repellents on exposed skin and, when necessary, sleeping under a mosquito net.
• Antimalarial tablets are usually not advised.
• If you have been travelling in a malarious area and develop a fever seek medical attention promptly. Remember malaria can develop even up to one year after exposure.
• If travelling to high risk malarious areas, remote from medical facilities, carrying emergency malaria standby treatment may be considered.
