Especially Apes and Bats.
2. Wash your hands as regularly as possible,
especially after shaking a stranger. It is spread
by contact.
3.The most straightforward prevention method
during Ebola outbreaks is not touching patients,
their excretions, and body fluids, or possibly
contaminated materials and utensils. Patients
should be isolated, and medical staff should be
trained and apply strict barrier nursing
techniques (disposable face mask, gloves,
goggles, and a gown at all times).
Traditional burial rituals, especially those
requiring embalming of bodies, should be
discouraged or modified.
Awareness is key, don’t just read or ignore…
