Ebola is not transmitted through the air, which makes it much harder to spread than respiratory diseases like the measles, influenza or SARS, Geisbert explained.

Instead, Ebola is spread through body fluids like blood, vomit or saliva. A person has to come into contact with those fluids to risk infection.

“Because it’s not airborne, it would take very close contact with someone who is at an advanced stage of illness to become infected,” Geisbert said.
