Description:

Although your risk of Ebola is very low, you should still watch your health for the next 21 days: 1) Pay attention to how you are feeling and whether you start to have a fever or any of the other Ebola symptoms listed below; 2) If you have a fever or any of the symptoms listed below, call the state or local health department (see phone numbers on the back of this page); 3) Tell the health department that you recently arrived from a country that previously had an Ebola outbreak; and, 4) Bring the cut-out card (below) and show it right away if you seek medical care.

Symptoms of Ebola may appear from 2 to 21 days after exposure and include: 1) fever (temperature of 100.4°F/38°C or feeling like you have a fever); 2) severe headache; 3) muscle pain; 4) weakness; 5) fatigue (feeling very tired); 6) diarrhea; 7) vomiting; 8) stomach pain; and, 9) unexplained bleeding or bruising.
