"History repeats itself" you've heard it before.
The first Ebola outbreak caused by Ebola virus took place on 26 August 1976. The following precautions were taken by the government of Democratic Republic of Congo to solve ebola outbreak:
No one should was permitted to enter or leave the infected area. Roads, waterways, and airfields were halted. Even schools, businesses and social organizations were closed. And, the infected areas were n designated as quarantine zone"
The outbreak lasted 26 days. Within two weeks after the above precautions were taken, ebola had disappeared.That researchers speculated the disappearance for the disease to be precautions taken by locals.
Therefore, although Ebola has claimed headlines in major newspapers around the globe, and people are seeking a cure from science, it history has it that a simple precaution to the "deadly Ebola" can put the disease to an end.
