Our reporters visited Cairo Bank, Stanbic bank and Equity Bank among others and found out that all the bank tellers were putting on gloves due to an outbreak of Ebola.

One of the managers of Equity Bank told us that there is a fear that Ebola would come from money yet they want their workers to be safe.

There are many types of Ebola including Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, and Ebola-Ivory Coast.

The origin of Ebola is Zaire (these days called the Democratic Republic of Congo). The Ebola viruses live in some wildlife animals like monkeys and chimpanzees.

The moment Ebola Virus enters the person, it begins to multiply within the body and after four to six days on average, the signs and symptoms of Ebola emerge.

The common signs and symptoms of Ebola include weakness, fever, sore throat, dehydration, severe headache, joint and muscle aches, stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, dry, hacking cough, rashes,  red eyes, hiccups and internal and external bleeding.

If you have had a persistent cough, keep babies surroundings clean, airy and dry.

Early diagnosis and successful treatment of an infected adult is the best way to protect our children against TB.

BCG immunization protects children mainly against the development of TB meningitis and its free at government health facilities.
