BACKGROUND_x000D_
_x000D_
According to Murphy (2006) health care workers in developing countries were unsure of the most effective_x000D_
_x000D_
methods of infection control to prevent disease transmission; this meant that many healthcare workers became_x000D_
_x000D_
infected. The capacity of the virus to infect unprepared health care workers meant that there was a shortage of_x000D_
_x000D_
skilled health care workers to assist in protecting the population._x000D_
