The Do Not Dry symbol is only used in conjunction with a Do Not Wash symbol, i.e. don't get this wet, and don't heat it.

WHO declares a nation as a ‘malaria-free’ upon receiving valid proof that the Anopheles mosquito-borne native malaria transmission chain has been broken for at least the previous three years on a national level. A country must also demonstrate the capacity to prevent the re-establishment of transmission.
In June 2024, the WHO confirmed that there was no local transmission of malaria in Egypt, with all identified cases being imported from endemic countries. Egypt’s robust surveillance system was instrumental in early case detection, facilitated by collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
Neighbouring countries to the south have a high risk for malaria, but Egypt has had significant efforts to eliminate the disease since the '40s.
Regarding traffic, generally traffic increases as you build more roads. If you build more transit, cycling, and walking infrastructure, the same rule applies. If you remove roads, you are creating more of an incentive to use alternative modes. It's obviously not an instant effect, but as lanes are being removed from cars and converted to allowed bicycles in Paris, vehicle traffic has reduced by 5% in 10 years.
edit: wow, did not realise how far phone cameras had come!
