アドバイス

Malaria is endemic in Ethiopia, with a higher prevalence in areas below 2,000 metres [6,564 ft] in altitude. All travellers to any region where malaria transmission is occurring can reduce their risk of exposure by taking all necessary precautions to avoid mosquito bites, e.g., use mosquito repellent and sleep under insecticide-impregnated bed nets whenever mosquitoes are present. Anti-malaria medication is recommended. Talk to your doctor about which malaria medication you should take.
