When eating out, avoid eating raw seafood and choose cold dishes carefully, including sashimi, sushi and oysters from buffets.
When eating hot pot or barbecue, you should ensure that the food is thoroughly cooked before eating; during the cooking process, you should also carefully handle and separate raw and cooked food thoroughly, and use two sets of chopsticks to handle raw and cooked food separately.
