  • Description:
    Contact tracing can stop the Ebola outbreak in its tracks. Contact tracing is finding everyone who comes in direct contact with a sick Ebola patient. Contacts are watched for signs of illness for 21 days from the last day they came in contact with the Ebola patient. If the contact develops a fever or other Ebola symptoms, they are immediately isolated, tested, provided care, and the cycle starts again—all of the new patient’s contacts are found and watched for 21 days. Even one missed contact can keep the outbreak going. CS262384A contact-tracing.pdf
