EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90% meaning9 out of 10 people who contract the disease are likely to die The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission. Ebola can be contracted through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people including semen and vaginal fluid. Contact with the corpse of a diseased person can also lead to infection with the virus. The symptoms of Ebola include fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is 2 to 21 days Suspicious wild life aka Bush meat should be avoided as much as possible and animal products to be consumed should be thoroughly cooked before consumption. Regular hand washing is advisable to avoid picking up germs. Use soap and water, or alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol Be aware.
