Ang Ebola Virus Disease may mga kaso nga ongoing sa Congo kag sa iban nga bahin sang Africa, kag wala pa sang local outbreak sa Pilipinas. Apang importante gihapon nga magbinantayon kag magsunod sa health safety measures.
Ang Ebola Virus Disease isa ka seryoso nga balatian nga naga lapta paagi sa direct contact sa dugo kag bodily fluids sang infected nga tawo ukon sapat.
Para maprotektahan ang imo kaugalingon kag pamilya:
• Manghinaw pirme sang kamot gamit ang habon kag matinlo nga tubig
• Likawan ang magpalapit sa mga gina suspetsahan nga may makalalaton nga sakit
• Indi maghikap sang dugo, s**a, laway, higko kag iban pa nga bodily fluids sang iban nga tawo
Kung maka eksperyensya sang hilanat, palangluya, palanakit sang kalawasan, pags**a, sore throat, kag diarrhea, magpakonsulta dayon sa pinakamalapit nga health center.
Ang Ebola indi airborne. Buot silingon, sa direct contact lng ini nagalapta.

Magbinantayon. Stay informed. Sa tama nga impormasyon kag pagbinuligay, maprotektahan naton ang aton komunidad kontra Ebola.
Bilang kabahin sang aton prevention efforts, ginapalig-on ang quarantine measures sa airports kag seaports. Ang health authorities nagabantay sing maayo sa inbound travelers paagi sa screening kag health surveillance agud maprotektahan ang publiko.
Importante ang kooperasyon sang tanan agud mapabilin nga safe kag healthy ang aton komunidad.

This has been a health reminder from Iloilo Provincial Health Office.
