No Skin Showing: Revised U.S. Ebola Protocols after Texas for health care workers

Ebola protocols to call for no skin showing
Revised guidance for health care workers treating Ebola patients will include using protective gear "with no skin showing," a top federal health official said Sunday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said those caring for an Ebola patient in Dallas were left vulnerable because some of their skin was exposed.

As I suspected before the tape or the bare neck was the source of the two cases of Ebola in Nurses in Texas. Likely Duncan coughed on their necks and this exposed them either when taking off medical tape or on their bare necks.
