Can you get ebola from an infected person's blood or bodily fluid/secretions that are left like say, in a public place long after they have left?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ebola Virus: When dried, in small amounts on a surface in ambient conditions - the Ebola virus usually is not alive for more than a few hours. It can live longer in body fluids maintained at room temperature and considerably longer at lower temperatures (4 Celsius or lower).
