Precautions

For less-than-3 month-short term visit, take a Malaria preventive. As malaria mosquitoes are most active at sunset, avoid night activities and wear long sleeve shirts. Use mosquito repellents always. Sleep inside a mosquito net.
Report to the Korea Embassy about your unexpected accident and problems.
Do not wear jewelry
Always carry your bag in public or using public transportation systems.
Purchase drinking water and make sure it is sealed.
Be respectful and keep courtesy toward the locals.
Carry your backpack in front in crowded places.
Do not swim in Lake Victoria because it’s polluted with a schistosome (a parasite aka, “blood fluke”).
Do not walk around where there are few people at night

Go to a doctor right away when you have high fever, diarrhea, muscle ache and headache and report about your visit to Africa.
If you miss time for treatment, Malaria can cause death or serious trauma. It is crucial to find it out in the initial stage.
Over the last 10 years, more than 10 malaria patients passed away among Korean immigrants and visitors.
