Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Wednesday announced “more enhanced screening” for the estimated 150 travelers flying into the United States every day from West African countries where the deadly Ebola virus is spreading.
“The protocol is, first of all, our Customs personnel are very skilled at examining people, assessing people for a variety of reasons. And we’re asking passengers to fill out a declaration about what symptoms do you have? Are you feeling ill? Where have you been for the last 21 days and where will you be for the next few days?
“And, through a non-contact thermometer, we’re going to be taking the temperatures of every passenger that comes from one of the three affected countries.”
