There is quite a bit of information circulating about Ebola in the U.S. and internationally. You or your family members may have questions about Ebola, how it is transmitted and how you can protect yourself from Ebola. The Centers for Disease Control has prepared a series of educational materials that you may want to review, share with your family members or provide to your clients or share with your social networks. The materials are:
