Live in michigan work in healthcare will i get ebola?

Odds remain low.: It remains unlikely, albeit not impossible, that you will contract Ebola. The odds of doing so are low to begin with and drop precipitously the farther you are from Ebola geographically and from a "risk of exposure" standpoint - i.e. not a health care worker, not exposed to large numbers of people, and exercising reasonable caution to avoid body fluid contact.

Infection control: We can't predict whether you might be exposed to Ebola virus or any other infectious agent. The best defense is to follow infection control procedures, including washing hands and wearing personal protective gear.

Healthcare risk: You are probably far more likely to get hepatitis or other infection from blood exposure or needle stick. You are probably more likely to get attacked by a patient or visitor. There are risks that we all assume as healthcare workers, but Ebola in Michigan is quite low.

There has been: 1 case diagnosed in the US - & the contacts from patient zero are being well monitored & contained. The 5 patients who were evacuated for treatment went to biocontainment hospitals. There are 4 biocontainment hospitals in the US : Emory Univ Hospital (Atlanta, GA), National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD), Nebraska Medical Center (Omaha, Nebraska) & ST Patrick Hospital (Missoula, Montana). >
