Placeholder text: this section is awaiting review by a qualified health professional. It is not medical advice.

Put your own safety first when working on a rooftop. Do not climb onto rooftops without railings or that are unsafe. Get help from trained people to clean water tanks. Never use chemicals or insecticides yourself; this is work for trained, authorised personnel only.

In an emergency, go to the nearest health facility or call the Shasthya Batayon health line on 16263.
