Content: If you do notice flu-like signs, such as fever, muscle pain, headache and vomitting, get to a doctor immediately and let the medical staff know that you have been to an area that has Ebola. 6
Avoid areas that are having Ebola outbreaks
By avoiding the areas in the world that are having Ebola outbreaks, you greatly decrease your chances of catching Ebola. Unless traveling to these areas is of grave importance, they should be avoided where the virus has been found. If you are planning a trip to West African countries give it a miss. 7
Try to avoid West Africa hospitals
If you do not have Ebola, but need medical attention, avoid those West African hospitals, as these are most often treating Ebola patients. Due to the high number of Ebola patients they have, the chances of someone becoming infected in the hospital is relatively high. In order to find the best hospital to go to, the US embassy or consulate can often direct you to the best place for medical treatment without the risk of Ebola. 8
Do not go to funerals or burial sites of those who die from Ebola
Though it may seem disrespectful, those who die with Ebola are often more contagious than those who are still alive. Thus, it is fairly easy for someone to come into contact with the disease in these areas. This is why when a person dies from Ebola, the body has to be disposed of in a proper manner and by the proper authorities.
