US to Track Everyone Coming from Ebola Nations
US to track everyone coming from Ebola nations – Stepping up their vigilance against Ebola, federal authorities said Wednesday that everyone traveling into the US from Ebola-stricken nations will be monitored for symptoms for 21 days. That includes returning American aid workers, federal health employees and journalists, as well as West African travelers.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the program will start Monday in six states that represent 70 percent of people arriving from Liberia, Sierra Leone and New Guinea.
Individuals arriving from West Africa will receive “care kits” that include thermometers, detailed information on how to take their temperature twice a day, and logs for recording the information.
