No, NGO workers do not throw pills down toilets to transmit the Ebola virus

1. The Ebola virus is transmitted through direct contact with blood and bodily fluids (urine, faeces, saliva, vomit, breast milk, sweat, and semen) as well as objects contaminated by an Ebola-positive individual. The virus is also transmitted through contact with sick or dead wild animals (source1: UNICEF).

2. Health-related infodemics hamper the response and deter several patients from visiting hospitals.

3. Sanitation and waste management (Red Cross)
Safely dispose of waste that may be contaminated (by burning or burying it)
Disinfect the homes and personal belongings of individuals infected with or who died from Ebola
Avoid disinfecting areas that have not been frequented by individuals infected with or who died from Ebola. Disinfecting these spaces can unnecessarily fuel stigma, is not an effective prevention method, and leads to the inappropriate use of resources
Encourage the disinfection of reusable equipment
Ensure solid waste management
