Nurses, flight attendants, and now paramedics are asking for more training to deal with the Ebola virus.
With only a handful of cases in North America, Urgences Santé employees say they need to be prepared to cope with people who may have come in contact with the disease.
Since the outbreak began in west African country this year there have been ten people in Quebec who have potentially come in contact with the disease. All of them were found to be free from the virus.
Paramedics say their only directive from the provincial government has been to keep using their current equipment, but Yvon Bonesso of the paramedics' union believes that may not be adequate.
"With the Ebola you need just a little bit, just a little particle of the Ebola virus and that's what makes people afraid," said Bonesso.
"If you haven't been trained and you've not practiced enough, that's what scares people."
Earlier this week Air Canada employees asked their company for official documentation to wear gloves.
The airline responded that employees are welcome to wear gloves while preparing food, but should not consider gloves a substitute for proper hygiene.
