The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expands its enhanced Ebola screening for travelers to include Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The added screening applies to passengers arriving from countries affected by a recent Ebola outbreak, including Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan. This change is part of the federal government’s emergency public health response and builds on an existing enhanced screening effort at other major U.S. airports. Reporting from multiple outlets indicates Atlanta joins a broader network of airports already designated for enhanced Ebola screening, including Dulles and Houston. The CDC’s expanded measures focus on screening travelers from the specified outbreak-affected countries as arrivals enter the United States. The announcements reflect an effort to identify potential Ebola cases through additional checks at high-volume international entry points and to adjust screening locations as outbreaks and risk assessments evolve.
