Five U.S. Airports To Increase Ebola Screening

Travelers arriving to the U.S. from the countries hardest hit by an Ebola outbreak will get additional health screenings at key airports.

FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern has more from the White House:

Passengers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will have their temperatures taken upon arrival at five airports in the U.S.

While those passengers are screened before boarding U.S.-bound flights, Press Secretary Josh Earnest says…

(Earnest) “Our professionals were regularly evaluating that process for additional measures that could be put in place to further strengthen the system.”

Roughly 150 passengers from West Africa arrive daily at New York’s JFK, Newark, Washington Dulles, Atlanta Hartsfield and Chicago’s O’Hare airports, accounting for more than 90% of individuals traveling to the U.S. from that region.
