Although blood tests have shown that a 12-year-old girl in Ghana who died of viral fever with bleeding did not have Ebola, everyone is encouraged to take proper precautions to protect themselves. Please take the following precautions:
- Wash your hands frequently.
- Get a Dettol hand sanitizer for people to use in your office and homes and let them know why.
- Get one hand sanitizer for your children to use in school frequently, and if possible, one for their class. Let them know why.
- Be careful with hand railings, doors and other utilities used by the public.
- Avoid bush meat or meat of which you are not sure of its source.
- Lastly, watch out for people with flu-like symptoms such as fever, myalgia (muscle pains) and malaise (general feeling of being unwell).
Please note that the virus has no cure!
