The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new guidelines Monday for health workers treating Ebola victims.

The new guidelines come in the wake of two Dallas nurses contracting the disease while caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with the virus in the United States.

"We're increasing the margin of safety," CDC Director Thomas Frieden told reporters Monday. "Even a single health-care worker infection is one too many," he said, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Under the new protocols, Ebola healthcare workers must use whole body coveralls and hoods that protect the worker's necks; a supervisor should oversee that proper procedures are followed by the health workers when putting on and taking of equipment and health workers who are involved in an Ebola patients care should constantly practice and show expertise in putting and removing gear before they go near the patient.

The guidelines also ask hospitals to set up designated areas for putting on and taking off gear. The designated areas can either be a part of the hallway cordoned off with plastic sheet or a room near to the Ebola patient's room, reports the Associated Press.

Frieden said that the new guidelines were formulated after consulting with health care organizations like Doctors Without Borders in Africa in addition to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Nebraska Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health Clinical Care Center.

Frieden added that CDC agrees with the contention of Frontline-workers that they require more training in the treatment of Ebola Patients.

Turning to another aspect of Ebola care, Frieden said that it is very important that hospital staff screen for possible Ebola cases, by checking their travel histories as the initial symptoms of Ebola are vague. He also said that hospitals must appoint an "Ebola manager" if they are treating an Ebola patient in the hospital.
