If the virus is alive, the blood is infectious. This is borderline silly - do you understand how infection works? It's considerably more difficult without a delivery vehicle (liquid -> fluid -> mixes easily with other fluids -> introduction to blood stream = infection) - there's obviously still a risk, and you shouldn't handle blood/fluids without precaution no matter what, but there's a different order of magnitude in what it would take to infect.
Like I said - it's somewhat alarmist, although I'm sure your Health Officials, while apparently highly fallible, were simply trying to give you 'worst-case' to keep you safe.
