Monitor your health for 21 days after being exposed to Ebola
If a person has come into contact with Ebola, or even suspects that they have come into contact, they must monitor their health for the following 21 days. As this is the incubation period for the disease. If symptoms of Ebola are noticed, then medical attention must be sought immediately. 10
Do not care for Ebola patients at your home
Ebola is best treated in a professional medical facility. However, if a person were to choose to treat this at their home in the aid of a family member, this family member would need to notify public health officials and ensure that they have medical grade equipment and protective clothing to utilize. It is highly recommended to not care for an Ebola patient in a home. 11
Health facilities should isolate Ebola patients from other patients
In the hospital or facility in which Ebola patients are being treated, they must have their own space to avoid contaminating other patients who do not have Ebola. In a facility that does not isolate Ebola patients, the risk of spreading the disease increase. 12
Health care professionals should wear protective clothing
Protective clothing is referred to as masks, gloves, gowns and eye protection, which should decrease the chances of coming into contact with bodily fluids and spreading Ebola.
