    • How to reduce the risks (e.g., no food, drink, smoking, pacifiers, spill-proof cups, etc. in animal areas).
    • Individuals at high risk for serious infection must be extra careful or avoid animal exhibits.
  • Information is provided in simple and easy-to-understand formats that are age and language appropriate.
