8. Know the Warning Signs

Almost everyone who contracts a virus will start off with gentle symptoms in the beginning such as a low grade fever, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose.

A person with these symptoms is contagious and since you won’t know if it’s just a cold, if it’s H1N1, or something else.

Of course if you or a loved one has had contact with someone had Ebola or cared for someone with Ebola, or traveled to infected African countries, get to a hospital immediately. Otherwise, keep this person home from school or work to avoid spreading the infection further.
