Description
On September 30, 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first laboratory-confirmed case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States in a patient who had traveled to Dallas, TX from West Africa.
CDC and the Department of Homeland Securitys Customs and Border Protection announced on October 8, enhanced Ebola screening at five U.S. airports that receive over 94 percent of travelers from the Ebola-affected nations of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. These five airports are New Yorks JFK International Airport, Washington-Dulles, Newark, Chicago-OHare, and Atlanta International....
Updated CDC guidance, supported by ASPR, urges hospitals to limit the spread of the virus in order to protect and maintain their workforce, to prevent hospitals from being a disease amplifier, and to protect non-Ebola patients from infection. This grant will enable select public health departments serving the regions where enhanced airport screenings are occurring to procure equipment and supplies, train staff, retrofit facilities, and carry out other necessary Ebola-specific preparedness, response, and recovery activities.
