For example, wash your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and avoid contact with blood and body fluids.Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids (such as clothes, bedding, needles, and medical equipment).Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola.Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals.Avoid hospitals in West Africa where Ebola patients are being treated.
