The Ministry further emphasizes that, as of now, there are no confirmed cases of Ebola in Israel. The Ministry continues to monitor the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda on an ongoing basis, maintaining systemic preparedness to ensure the healthcare system is ready for any potential scenario.
The Ministry reiterates its call for the public to avoid non-essential travel to regions with active Ebola outbreaks. Travelers returning from these areas who develop a fever or unusual symptoms within 21 days of their return are advised to stay home and avoid contact with others. It is important to note that Ebola is not transmitted through the air; infection occurs through direct contact with a symptomatic patient, their blood, body fluids, or secretions.
