Ebola is a serious viral illness, but it is important to understand how it actually spreads.
Ebola does not spread through air or casual contact like sitting next to someone on a flight.
Transmission happens through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person who is already showing symptoms, or through contaminated objects and infected animals in affected areas.
As travel increases this season, staying informed, practising good hygiene, and following official health advisories can help keep you safe.
