Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (EHF) is a Biosafety Level 4 contagion (there is no cure or vaccine to prevent it.) and is highly contagious. depending on the sub-type of the virus there is up to a 90% fatality rate. A person who is showing signs and symptoms of EHF infection should be quarantined to determine if they are infected or not. Other than supportive care hospitals can do nothing to treat EHF, and barrier nursing and universal bio-hazard precautions should be used with any Hemorrhagic Fever patient

How do you know if you have ebola-?

The only way to know for sure if you have Ebola is to have a test run at a hospital. That said, there is very little to worry about if you haven't come in direct contact with a person already infected with the virus. Some of the symptoms are a fever and vomiting, but a person shouldn't panic because it is much more likely to be the flu than Ebola.
