Sports lovers from all over the world are eagerly waiting for the Paris Olympics. Millions of people will head to France to participate in this mega event from 26 July to 11 August. But do not ignore health in this excitement. The World Health Organization (WHO), the French Ministry of Health, and other health agencies have issued important health advice for Olympic spectators.

A spokesperson for the French Health Ministry said that the Olympic Games bring people from all over the world to share the values ​​of sports and celebrate together. We want everyone to be safe and healthy. Together with WHO and ECDC, we have been advised to follow some simple rules. The advice covers many topics from vaccination to mosquito-borne diseases.

Get the necessary vaccinations.

As advised, check your vaccination status before traveling. Pay particular attention to the measles vaccine. Measles cases are increasing in many parts of the world, including Europe. If you have not had measles or are not fully vaccinated, get the MMR vaccine at least two weeks before traveling.

Beware of respiratory diseases.

Respiratory diseases have become common after Corona. The risk of infection increases in large crowds. Stay at home if you have a cough, fever, or sore throat. Wear a mask when going out.

Avoid the heat

France has a hot season. Stay in a cool place for 2-3 hours a day. Drink plenty of water and avoid the sun.

Food and drink precautions:

The tap water in France is drinkable. Wash fruits and vegetables before eating. Food should be cooked thoroughly.

Avoid mosquitoes

Tiger mosquitoes are found in France. They spread diseases like dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Wear full clothes, apply mosquito repellent lotion, sleep in an AC room, or use a mosquito net.
