As the Ebola outbreak in West Africa grows, airlines around the globe are closely monitoring the situation but have yet to make any drastic changes. Here are a few tips for travellers that could help provide protection against the virus:
* Following personal hygiene is must. Wash hands under running water for frequently.
* Those who have returned from their trip to places where Ebola is prevalent should also be equally careful. Although there are no cases in India yet, you need to be alert about the signs. If symptoms like fever, body ache, sore throat set in within a few days after traveling, seek medical opinion from a qualified doctor only. Do not take any of these symptoms lightly.
* Avoid direct contact with sick people and bodily fluids.
* If you’re taking medication for any infectious diseases and if you’re currently suffering any ailment, you should avoid traveling before complete recovery. When you’re suffering from an infection, your immunity weakens. This could be a good opportunity for the virus to attack you.
