In our view, the most concerning examples include Dr Khan [3] , a Sierra Leonean virologist who contracted Ebola despite his extensive experience and careful adherence to procedures; Dr Spencer [4] , a Médecins Sans Frontières physician who became symptomatic upon returning to New York despite working in well-designed isolation units built specifically to protect HCWs from EVD infection; and Dr Sacra, an obstetrician who contracted Ebola without having knowingly cared for any EVD patients [5] . Realizing the threat of nosocomial infection, the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control responded by implementing traffic control bundling (TCB), which included triage and diversion of patients before they enter the hospital; clear delineation of zones of risk between contaminated and clean zones; and gloves-on hand disinfection at checkpoints between zones of risk ( Figure 1 ) [11] .	./cache/cord-256583-z3pd339v.txt	./txt/cord-256583-z3pd339v.txt
