#Ebola is a serious infectious disease that can spread rapidly if not recognized and contained on time. The signs and symptoms usually appear 2–21 days after exposure.

⚠️ If you or someone around you notices these symptoms, do not ignore them. Seek medical attention immediately and avoid contact with others until cleared by health professionals.

🛡️ Protecting yourself also protects your family, friends, and community.
Let’s work together to stop the spread of Ebola.
