Evidently, getting out of the suit without getting contaminated is the “trick” and the riskiest part of treating Ebola patients, if you have on one of these suits. Saw this on a link somewhere ..... can’t remember exactly where.

Add to that the suits give them a false sense of security....
Even a brief bleach wash or wipe down of the outside of the suit should go a long way before exiting the suit.
I’m reading “The Hot Zone” right now. Even in 1989, staff were washed with decon fluid for seven minutes after leaving the infected zone. Wikipedia says “the entrance and exit of a level four biolab will contain multiple showers, a vacuum room, an ultraviolet light room, and other safety precautions designed to destroy all traces of the biohazard.”
But it doesn’t take many virus particles to get infected.
