Ebola is passed from one person to another by direct contact with body fluids from an infected person - such as blood, sweat, urine and semen.

Fear of infection has changed the way that people interact with each other. Reducing contact between people is a good thing during an epidemic.

Washing your hands thoroughly in soap and water will remove the virus.

Ebola telephone hotlines are in place in the affected countries:

Sierra Leone 117
Guinea 115
Liberia 4455
Lagos State, Nigeria, 0800 32 65 24357
