Isolate yourself: so you don't infect others and arrange for transport and care to a medical facility alerting both transport and provider that you may have Ebola. Once in medical care atest is performed called a pcr test that takes 6-8 hours for results. This is an accurate test. If positive you would be admitted for hospital care. This means an isolation unit to limit the spread to others as you receive Care
