6. Avoid Contact With Anyone Possibly Infected

Although Ebola is a bit more difficult to catch than some other viruses, no one wants to be infected with any type of virus if we can avoid it. If you should see someone sneezing, coughing, vomiting, or is obviously sick, avoid contact.

  • Don’t be too embarrassed to refuse to shake hands. You can always blame yourself saying that you think you are coming down sick and you don’t want to spread it. Everyone will appreciate that, even if it isn’t true.
  •  Don’t do the hug and air kiss thing if you have any concerns that the other person might be sick.
  • If the person is obviously sick, try to keep at least a 3 to 5 foot distance from them.
