What precautions should be taken for people already in Angola?
The best protection for persons in or traveling to the outbreak area is to avoid contact with ill individuals. Infections occur through direct contact with body fluids (e.g., blood, saliva, urine) from individuals with active signs of infection. Barrier precautions should be used when in close contact with persons infected with Marburg hemorrhagic fever or persons and animals suspected of being infected with Marburg virus. These precautions include wearing protective gowns, gloves, and masks, in addition to wearing eye protection (e.g., eye glasses) or a face shield.
