They say it is spread by direct contact with the bodily fluids (sweat, blood, urine, feces, semen, saliva, tears) of an infected person, or their body after their death. But there is some evidence that it can be spread without such direct contact. The Ebola Reston virus seems to have spread in some other way, probably airborne, but there is no proof (at least published proof) that it can be spread through the air. Nevertheless, notice that the researchers and physicians all take the most drastic precautions against such a possibility, and we should, too.
