Dulles to Screen Ebola-Exposed US-Bound Travelers
The CDC has ordered US-bound flights carrying passengers who recently visited Ebola-affected regions (the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan) to land at Washington Dulles International Airport for health screening. Entry restrictions under Title 42 apply to non-citizens who visited those areas in the prior 21 days, with the order in effect for at least 30 days, while American citizens and lawful permanent residents will be screened upon arrival. About 10 CDC staff are being sent to Dulles to conduct questionnaires, temperature checks, and follow-up with state health departments as part of a layered public-health approach intended to slow the virus’s spread and minimize disruption at the airport.
