The basic principle of prevention of infectious disesase is avoiding causes which transmit infections.
Infectious diseases can be transmitted through different ways. These are as follows:
1) By avoiding direct contact with people already suffering from infectious disease, as infections are transmitted by cough, mucous, blood etc.
2)By consuming clean and purified water to get protected from water borne diseases.
3) By consuming fresh hot and hygeinic food to prevent stomach infections.
By following above steps, infections can be prevented.
