The simple steps that you can do to avoid getting Ebola:

1. If you suspect someone of having Ebola, do not touch them. Encourage them to go to a medical facility.

2. Don't touch the clothes or bedclothes of someone who has Ebola.

3. If someone has died from Ebola, do not touch them, even as part of a burial ceremony.

4. Do not touch or eat bushmeat - such as bats, monkeys and chimpanzees.

5. Don't panic.

6. Wash your hands regularly with soap and clean water. Use clean towels.
