Ebola: Traveling from West Africa
With
the recent outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and
Liberia, many questions have come up regarding the risk of infection for
travelers. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently issued a Level 3 Travel Warning advising
against nonessential travel to any of the above countries. In addition, the CDC
is continuing its screening and education efforts on the ground to prevent sick
passengers from traveling from the affected countries.
If
you’re traveling from West Africa
The CDC asks those returning from affected areas to be aware of any change in
their health. Those who have not had direct contact with infected body fluids,
animals, or contaminated objects, should monitor their health for a minimum
of 10 days and look for the following symptoms:
- Fever
- Headache
- Joint and muscle aches
- Weakness
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Lack of appetite
Symptoms
can appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure with 8-10 days being the
most common. Anyone who suspects they were exposed should monitor their health
for 21 days post exposure and continue to monitor for the following symptoms. If
you recently traveled from the affected areas and find that you’ve developed
any of the above symptoms, contact your health care provider immediately—even
if it’s just a fever. SU
faculty and staff should contact their private health care provider while
students can either contact the health center at 206-296-6300 or their private health care
provider. Tell your provider about your recent travel and potential exposure
before you go to your provider’s office or emergency room to prevent potential
transmission to others.
