MOSCOW, October 5 - RIA Novosti. Thorough washing of hands, fruits and vegetables, as well as drinking only safe water will help avoid infection with the Coxsackie virus, Rospotrebnadzor told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor reported that an official request was sent to the Ministry of Health of Vietnam and the ATOR due to reports of the Coxsackie virus in Russians.

“Wash your hands thoroughly with soap before eating and after visiting public places. Use only bottled or boiled water, do not swallow water from the pool,” the message says.

Rospotrebnadzor also recommended washing fruits and vegetables with bottled or boiled water, and, if possible, avoiding swimming in pools with questionable hygienic conditions. You should also avoid contact with people who have signs of respiratory or intestinal infections.
