Kenyans do not need to stop going to the gym for fear of contracting Ebola through sweat, shared exercise equipment, or working out alongside an infected person, an infectious disease specialist has said.
Felix Riunga, consultant infectious diseases specialist at Aga Khan University Hospital, says that the risk of transmission in gyms is extremely low, as Ebola mainly spreads through contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person who is already showing symptoms of the illness.
