Protect yourself optimally around the clock (24/7) against mosquito bites (see
factsheet mosquito and tick bite protection): at dusk and at night against malaria, during the day against dengue and other arboviruses).
During stays in regions with high risk (
link risk areas), it is also strongly recommended to take preventive medication (medicinal prophylaxis).
If you have a
fever > 37.5°C: go to a doctor or clinic immediately and have a blood test for malaria! This applies regardless of whether you have taken prophylactic medication or not (see also
factsheet malaria).
