“’Intrinsically opposed to medicine’ Boko Haram threaten bid to contain Ebola virus
ISLAMIC terrorist group Boko Haram could severely hinder efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak sweeping Nigeria, because they are opposed to Western medicine, a US diplomat warned last night.”
It appears two of the attending nurses and an intern caught Ebola from Sawyer while administering care without any stringent isolation precautions even though they were being careful. Then one of the nurses spread it to another patient after working on Sawyer.
So it appears can be spread by contact through an intermediary who is not yet sick with the disease.
