Your area’s water supply might also be infected if a bird dropping contaminates the water reservoir. Consult with the water supply company on their safety and purifying measures to make sure the water is clean enough for human consumption.

Wearing respiratory masks may look too paranoid, but once another “outbreak” is announced, masks will be a great protection.
