• Description:
  To prevent Ebola from crossing borders, travelers leaving West Africa were screened at airports. More than 339,000 people were screened before leaving Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Exit screening helped to identify those at risk for Ebola and prevent disease transmission to other countries. The United States also implemented enhanced entry screening for travelers coming from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Mali by routing them to designated airports that were able to assess travelers for risk. More than 38,000 travelers entering the United States were screened for Ebola.
