It is a fairly infactious virus (boldy fluids - blood, saliva etc.), as the symptoms take a few days to manifest it can be spread to other people if no precautions are taken. Once full symptoms are presented the virus is extremely infectious, although not air-borne.

Ebola is extremely contagious through direct contact with body fluids such as mucous, blood, urine, sweat, vomit, etc., or with unsanitized surfaces that have been contaminated with those fluids.

It is not spread through the air, by coughing, sneezing, etc..
