Citing Ebola outbreak in Uganda, U.S. to screen all passengers arriving from there
The United States is going to direct travelers arriving from Uganda, where a fast-growing Ebola outbreak arose in recent weeks, to five airports where they can be screened for possible infection.
Starting Friday, U.S.-bound passengers who have been in Uganda within the past three weeks will be routed to JFK, Newark, Atlanta, O’Hare, or Dulles outside Washington, D.C., according to a statement from the U.S. embassy in Uganda. The policy applies to all passengers, including U.S. citizens.
