Ebola disease — fact sheet
Ebola symptoms can begin 2 to 21 days after infection and may resemble other illnesses. A person cannot transmit Ebola before symptoms begin. Laboratory testing by qualified services is needed for diagnosis.
Ebola spreads through direct contact of broken skin or mucous membranes with infected blood or body fluids, or with contaminated objects. It does not spread like influenza or COVID-19 merely by being near someone, and mosquitoes are not known to spread it.
Possible symptoms include fever, aches, weakness, fatigue, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, unexplained bleeding, shortness of breath and confusion. Symptoms are not specific to Ebola; people who may have been exposed and develop symptoms should promptly contact appropriate health professionals or public-health authorities.
