Ebola transmission precautions are strigent mesaures put in place for protection agianst the deadly virus known as ebola.
The Ebola virus is broadcast via close contact with an infected person through skin, bodily liquids, tissues and/or blood. The virus is not airborne which increases the usefulness of basic Ebola transmission precautions to prevent the dissemination of the illness.
5 Ebola Transmission Precautions
1. Avoidance
Avoid travel to any areas where the Ebola pathogen has been uncovered, especially in Africa where pandemics are becoming far-reaching. Any contact with patients, or the remains of patients, who've contracted the disease should also be avoided.
2. Protective Clothing
Protective clothing is among the essential Ebola transmission precautions, especially for caregivers or medical staff who are treating infected patients. Gloves, gowns, facial masks as well as eye shields are critical as the end stages of the disease are targeted at spreading the virus as fast and far as practical through bodily liquids.
3. Cleanliness
Regular washing with soap and hot water can reduce the danger of contracting Ebola. Hand rubs containing alcohol are also useful in junking the virus on the skin.
6. Food
Avoid eating any food that may have make contact with an infected person. A selection of local African meat, particularly bush meat, should not be eaten.
5. Disposal of Remains
The bodily remains of people infected by Ebola are communicable long after death has taken place. Only fully trained teams should handle the disposal of remains of infected Ebola patients. Teams need to wear necessary protecting gear as well as use the correct hardware to dispose of remains. While cremation is commended, gear isn't necessarily available and funeral of the remains is necessary in a controlled way and in area which has been set aside for such remains.
There is as of yet no vaccine which has been absolutely developed for the Ebola virus so following Ebola transmission precautions is vital in forestalling the spread of the illness.
