Answer 1

Answer:

The first place to post the flyer will be Children Day Care Centers

Second will be near ponds, lakes where people tend to go for swimming

Third will be at the schools and hospitals

Fourth will be at indoor / swimming pool for general public and professional swimmers

Explanation:

Children Day Care Centers:

Kids who attend day care centers, including diaper aged kids and people who take care of the day care kids are more like prone to infection. Especially, when parents of infected kids leave their kids in the day care where rest of the kids attend. Kids have weak immune system and they get easily affected by Cryptosporidium.

Ponds, Lakes, Indoor swimming pool

Backpackers, hikers & campers use the lakes and ponds for bathing, swimming etc., are exposed to Cryptosporidium infection as they end to consume unfiltered and untreated water

Schools and Hospitals

Kids, infants and pregnant women are more like to get seriously ill due to weak immune system which may lead to dehydration leading to diarrhea, as they tend to contact infected people.
