MYTH OR FACT? — NO OUTBREAK ≠NO RISK
Many communities only become concerned when people start getting sick. But disease prevention should begin before an outbreak occurs.
Unsafe water, poor sanitation and poor hand hygiene can quietly create conditions for disease to spread.
The first case is a warning—not the beginning. By the time an outbreak is detected, the conditions that allowed the disease to spread may have existed for days or even weeks.
FACT: Prevention starts before the outbreak.
