How do I protect myself against Ebola?

If you travel to an area or country affected by an Ebola outbreak used the following guide to protect yourself:

• Wash hands frequently, ideally with soap and lots of water, or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Diluted solutions of hypochlorite (HOCl) or bleach will work too.
• Avoid contact with blood and body fluids of any person, in particular of someone who is sick.
• Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids.
• Do not touch the body of someone who has died from Ebola.
• Do not touch bats and nonhuman primates or their blood and fluids and do not touch or eat raw meat prepared from these animals.
• Avoid hospitals in West Africa where Ebola patients have been or are being treated.
• Ask the U.S. Embassy or consulate. They are often able to provide advice on medical facilities.
• Seek medical care immediately if you develop fever (temperature of 101.5°F/ 38.6°C) and any of the other following symptoms: headache, muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding.
• Limit your contact with other people until and when you go to the doctor. Do not travel anywhere else besides a healthcare facility.
