Strict isolation with full barrier protection (contact and droplet precautions with appropriate PPE in a single room) is the cornerstone of infection control for viral Hemorrhagic fevers because these viruses are highly contagious through direct contact with blood and body fluids. Routine hand hygiene, although essential, is not sufficient by itself for these pathogens. Avoiding travel addresses community exposure, not in-facility prevention, and providing supportive care mitigates disease severity rather than transmission.
