The latest on Ebola from the CDC

The latest on Ebola from the CDC

The CDC website has the most up-to-date information on the current state of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa as well as information on the first travel-associated case of Ebola in the United States.

The site also outlines the signs and symptoms of Ebola, how it is transmitted, who is at risk of contracting the disease, and how it is diagnosed and treated.

There is also information about how travelers from West Africa are to be evaluated at points of entry and specific procedures for EMS when handling suspected cases.
