Abstract:

Introduction: Sound infectious disease policies are needed to control the outbreaks of infectious agents like the Ebola virus. The Ebola virus causes hemorrhagic fever in humans. The mortality rate will be in millions if it is not controlled on time. The number of cases is constantly increasing due to outbreaks caused by Ebola virus in different parts, which are diagnosed and assisted by the Ministry of Health in diagnostic and epidemiologic testing from biological samples for unique cases of viral pathogens. In 2014, the Ebola epidemic was the largest reported in history since 1976. Thus early control and recognition is very critical, this virus spreads in many ways with the most common routes are through animals to humans and humans to humans. Aim: The illnesses related to viruses like Ebola in workplace is studied systematically under the branch of Occupational Infectious Diseases under public health. Infectious viruses are present in specimens and workers can contact them during caring for patients. The health workers route of exposure is through skin, nose, eyes, with contaminated needles and aerosols. This has emerged as a distinct and broader field, which has opened a continuous and increased awareness to the frequency of work related diseases. The purpose of this study in public health is based on investigation, identification and intervention of diseases related to environment with future prevention and control of contaminates present in the atmosphere that can be harmful to the healthcare workers and communities that are at risk. Methods & Materials: The main reason for using community based intervention trials to prevent the Ebola outbreak and new policy formation is for disease prevention. A total of 39 patients were suspected of suffering from the Ebolavirus disease but are at present in danger. The Director of Department of Community Health and Chief Medical Officer is engaged in active preparedness in the United States for seeking detailed information on Ebola and for communities that have people traveling to Africa. Results: This study was aimed at Public Health Policy Statements for control of emerging infectious Diseases such as the Ebola in United States as occupational exposures a term paper. The infectious disease control and response are included in prevention programs of State Departments of Public Health policies. But these existing policies are not enough to control the infections that are ongoing and entering United States through travel. Conclusions: Federal and State governments are responsible for the surveillance of infectious diseases and chronic disease reporting, but elevated public health policies are needed to enforce the control by creating surveillance, control transmission, mortality and morbidity due to infectious diseases, exposure to toxic chemicals and other occupational exposures in workplaces. By emergency preparedness, using public health policies and their modification can be used to control outbreaks in advance using current public health policies.
