If you display any of the following symptoms, be alert and seek immediate medical care:

•Severe abdominal pain or persistent vomiting

•Bleeding under the skin or bruising

•Bleeding gums or nosebleeds

•Spitting blood or coffee-colored vomit

•Black or bloody stool

•Drowsiness, confusion, or restlessness

•Cold, pale, or clammy hands and feet

•4-6 hours without urinating

•Difficulty breathing

If you fall ill, be sure to get plenty of rest, drink enough fluids to prevent dehydration, take medication as instructed by a medical professional and avoid being bitten by mosquitos to ensure the virus is not spread to others

Make sure there is no standing water in your living environment to prevent mosquitos breeding and reduce the spread of disease
