Yes...if you remove your protective suit the wrong way and come in contact with body fluids that are on your protective suit...yup...you are now infected. It is very virulent, but you still have to actually come in contact with body fluids. The virus also lasts longer than most outside the body. It will even remain active in dried up fluids for several days.

I don't know if it's that cut and dry. The latest American with symptoms didn't have direct contact. Now they're also saying that if you remove your protective suit the wrong way you'll get it. I think we need to keep asking questions until they know for sure. I was talking to a friend that works for the CDC about a month ago and he said they have no definitive idea of how it spreads and how viral it will get. I say, be cautious and wait for the science. .
