Current ebola outbreak a concern for local health care workers and others involved with patients
There are specific concerns about occupational exposure to Ebola Virus among health care workers and other workers in health settings, including laboratories, burial sites, cleaners and desinfectors, as well as hunters, animal welfare and wildlife workers. According to Ms Chan, the number of health-care workers who have been infected is unprecedented. To date, nearly 170 health-care workers have been infected, and more than 80 have died. The infections and deaths of health-care workers have three major consequences. First, they diminish one of the most important assets for the response to any outbreak. Second, they can lead to the closure of hospitals and isolation wards, especially when staff refuse to come to work. Third, they drive fear, already very high, to new extremes.
