EbolaAlert
Could I have been exposed to Ebola?
Four questions, about one minute. This check cannot tell you if you have Ebola. Only a laboratory test can. It tells you whether to call the health authorities and what to do while you wait.
Update : Nigeria has confirmed one imported Ebola case in Abuja. Health teams are following up everyone who was in contact. Most fevers in Nigeria are still malaria.
What does not protect you from Ebola
- Drinking or bathing in salt water. In 2014 this made people seriously ill.
- Bitter kola, herbs, alcohol or antibiotics.
- Avoiding people from a particular state, tribe or country. The virus spreads through body fluids of sick people, not through where someone comes from.
What does protect you: wash hands with soap and water, do not touch the blood, vomit, stool or body of a sick person, and call 6232 early.
