Description:Updated 10/02/2020
CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) protects the public’s health through detection of, and response to, communicable diseases related to travel and imported pathogens and improves the health of globally mobile populations transitioning to U.S. communities. DGMQ has 20 quarantine stations located at U.S. ports of entry, which together cover all of the > 300 ports of entry into the United States. Within DGMQ, the Quarantine and Border Health Services Branch (QBHSB) oversees 18 quarantine stations (QS), while the US-Mexico Unit (USMU) covers two quarantine stations on the southern U.S. border.
Quarantine stations work in partnership with United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and other federal agencies; airlines; cruise lines and cargo/shipping agents; state, local, and territorial public health departments; and foreign ministries of health. One aspect of these partnerships involves relying on public health departments to notify quarantine stations of persons who recently traveled while infectious to prevent the spread of communicable diseases of public health concern into, out of, and within the United States.
This work was made possible by the tremendous efforts of partners at state, local, territorial, and tribal health departments; the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists; and the primary authors, consultants Kristen Allen, MPH and Kristina Lai, MPH. The Division of Global Migration and Quarantine at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provided invaluable subject matter expertise. In addition to the workgroup members, the authors would like to thank the CSTE members who gladly dedicated their time to pilot these tools.
