Common symptoms of malaria
In the early stages, malaria symptoms are sometimes similar to those of many other infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Symptoms may include:
Fever.
Chills.
Headache.
Sweats.
Fatigue.
Nausea and vomiting.
SO I would think that anyone having a fever needs to be quarantined until CLEARED by Blood testings.
I really wish folks would take a deep breath here...I can attest containments of deadly virus's can and is done..as a RN actively nursing immuno-compromised patients during the SARS epidemic....Some deaths of HC providers occurred during that ..BUT it did not become a pandemic by any means.. I can also say SARS was a far more easily transmitted deadly virus..Airbourne virus easily transmitted ..Not necessary to have CLOSE contact nor body fluid accesses...
Don't throw tomatoes at me..Im just trying to decrease the panic Im reading here..Wash hands..use common sense hygiene and chances are almost non-existent....It's the hands on HC providers who need our prayers and support now!! :tyou:
