The good thing about this very disease is that it is preventable. Prevention of Lassa fever in the community is first about shutting out the reservoir host.

Thus, the importance of good hygiene. Here are some more measures to keep in place:

• Avoid contact between rats and human beings;

• Keep your house and Environment clean

• Cover all foods and water properly.

• Cook all foods thoroughly

• Store foodstuffs in rodent proof containers

• Block all rat hideouts

• If you suspect that rat has eaten any food, discard it.

• In endemic environments the use of face masks,
hand gloves and contact with affected persons
Should also be avoided.
