Heath care workers at risk for exposure to Ebola should:
• Wear protective clothing, including masks, gloves, gowns, and eye protection.• Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures.• Isolate patients with Ebola from other patients.• Avoid direct contact with the bodies of people who have died from Ebola.• Notify health officials if you have had direct contact with the blood or body fluids, such as but not limited to, feces, saliva, urine, vomit and semen of a person who is sick with Ebola. The virus can enter the body through broken skin or unprotected mucous membranes such as in the eyes, nose or mouth.Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
