My initial gut is that he has a mild case without any GI sypmtoms, so I would treat him orally and I don't think he needs to get flown out.

Hand hygiene and avoiding local water sources need to be stressed to everyone.



Do I have a choice, and can I wash my hands first?
Your second patient complains of "cold-like" symptoms including significant body aches and cold hands and feet. And since it will be the first question, no, this one doesn't have a rash. This one denies drinking local water. He is the E5 team leader for your first patient. Questions?
