Sagamihara City Issues Guidance on Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Prevention

Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture – July 30, 2025 – Sagamihara City has published updated information regarding the prevention of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, emphasizing the importance of public awareness and preparedness. The announcement, made on July 30, 2025, at 3:05 PM, aims to provide residents with clear and actionable guidance should the need arise.

Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever is a severe and often fatal illness in humans caused by the Ebola virus. While outbreaks are currently not occurring in Japan, the Sagamihara City government is taking a proactive approach to ensure its citizens are well-informed about the disease and how to protect themselves and their communities.

The published information outlines key aspects of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, including:

  • Understanding the Virus: The document details that Ebola virus disease (EVD), also known as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, is characterized by symptoms such as fever, severe headache, muscle aches, weakness, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unexplained hemorrhage, and bruising.
  • Transmission: It is crucial to understand that Ebola is primarily transmitted through direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs, or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g., bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids. Transmission occurs when these bodily fluids enter the body of another person through broken skin or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth).
  • Prevention Measures: The city’s guidance highlights that there is currently no specific treatment or licensed vaccine available for Ebola virus disease, though a vaccine has been developed and is undergoing trials. Therefore, the primary focus remains on prevention. Key preventive measures emphasized include:
    • Maintaining good hygiene: Frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer is essential, especially after contact with potentially contaminated surfaces or individuals.
    • Avoiding direct contact: Residents are advised to avoid direct physical contact with the blood and bodily fluids of anyone who is sick with symptoms consistent with Ebola.
    • Safe handling of the deceased: Proper handling and burial practices for individuals who have died from Ebola are critical in preventing further spread.
    • Following official guidance: In the event of an outbreak, it is vital to adhere strictly to instructions and recommendations provided by health authorities and emergency services.

Sagamihara City’s publication underscores its commitment to public health and safety. By providing accessible and comprehensive information, the city aims to empower its residents to take necessary precautions and contribute to a resilient community prepared to address potential health emergencies.
