○ drinking bottled water
○ eating improperly cooked food
○ covering your mouth while coughing in an elevator
○ cleaning animal waste and washing hands soon after

• Drinking bottled water is safe as it's treated, so low disease transmission risk.
• Eating improperly cooked food can contain pathogens (like bacteria, parasites) that survive undercooking, making it a high - risk activity for disease transmission.
• Covering your mouth while coughing in an elevator reduces the spread of respiratory droplets, so low risk.
