As millions of Muslims around the globe celebrate Eid Day, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has released advice on how Muslims should conduct themselves health-wise.

Among the guidelines, the WHO statement spells out are:

• Wash hands with soap and water or a disinfectant, especially after coughing and sneezing, after using toilets, before handling and consuming food, and after touching animals.
• Use disposable tissues when coughing or sneezing and dispose of used tissues in a waste basket.
• Wear face masks in crowded places and replace wet masks with dry ones.
• Avoid direct contact with those who appear ill and avoid sharing their personal belongings.
• Avoid direct contact with camels in farms, markets, or barns, and avoid drinking unpasteurized milk or eating raw meat or animal products that have not been thoroughly cooked. 
• Concerning food and waterborne diseases, WHO advised Pilgrims to comply with the following measures.
• Wash hands before and after eating and after going to the toilet.
• Thoroughly clean and wash fresh vegetables and fruit.
• Store at safe temperatures.
• Cook food thoroughly.
• Do not eat uncovered cooked foods or those stored outside refrigerators. 
• Where heat is too much, WHO recommends that pilgrims and Muslims, especially older individuals, avoid direct sun exposure and drink sufficient amounts of water.
