How to grasp the 5 ebola transmission and precautions

By Alfred Obi


Ebola transmission precautions are strigent mesaures put in place for protection agianst the dangerous virus known as ebola.

The Ebola pathogen is transmitted via close contact with an infected person through skin, bodily liquids, tissues and/or blood. The pathogen is not airborne which increases the efficiency of basic Ebola transmission precautions to stop the growth of the disease.

5 Ebola Transmission Precautions

1. Avoidance

Avoid travel to any areas where the Ebola pathogen has been detected, especially in Africa where pandemics are becoming extensive. Any contact with patients, or the remains of patients, who have contracted the disease should also be evaded.

2. Protective Clothing

Protecting clothing is one of the essential Ebola transmission precautions, especially for caregivers or medical personnel who are treating infected patients. Gloves, robes, facial masks as well as eye shields are important as the end stages of the disease are aimed at spreading the virus as fast and far as possible through bodily liquids.

3. Hygiene

Regular washing with soap and hot water can minimise the risk of contracting Ebola. Hand rubs containing alcohol are also useful in junking the pathogen on the skin.

6. Food

Avoid eating any food which will have come into contact with an infected person. A variety of local African meat, especially bush meat, shouldn't be eaten.

5. Disposal of Remains

The bodily remains of people infected with Ebola are transmissive long after death has occurred. Only fully trained groups should handle the disposal of remains of infected Ebola patients. Groups need to wear required protecting gear as well as use the proper equipment to lose remains. While cremation is commended, gear is not necessarily available and funeral of the remains is required in a controlled way and in area which has been set aside for such remains.

There's as of yet no vaccine which has been fully developed for the Ebola virus so following Ebola transmission precautions is vital in preventing the dissemination of the disease.
