This document [provided on the linked page] provides a summary of infection control recommendations when providing direct and non-direct care to patients with suspected or confirmed Filovirus haemorrhagic fever, including Ebola or Marburg haemorrhagic fevers. These recommendations are interim and will be updated when additional information becomes available. The sections of the guidance cover:
General patient care
Direct patient care (for suspected or confirmed patients with haemorrhagic fever)
Waste management
Non-patient care activities: diagnostic laboratory activities, movement and burial of human remains, post-mortem examinations, managing exposure to virus through body fluids, including blood.
Following the link you will find current aseptic technique guidance which is slightly more elaborate than that what was published by the CDC.
Look for links labeled "Steps to put on personal protective equipment".
Please note that as of today, the CDC has NO recommendations! I did however find some yesterday...
"PPE Recommendations are forthcoming"
