Homeland Security agents are being trained to screen travelers for Ebola after they return from West Africa, the New York Daily News reports.
The advanced screenings will take place at five major airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York; Newark Liberty International Airport; Dulles International Airport outside of Washington, D.C.; Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport; and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport
Travelers returning from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will be subject to the screenings. About 150 people return from those countries every day.
“These five airports, as you may know, are the destination of 94% of individuals who travel to the United States from the three countries that are currently affected by Ebola right now,” Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said during a briefing Wednesday afternoon.
