The CDC will screen passengers arriving from Wuhan, China, for symptoms of a mysterious new deadly virus. The screenings will be at airports in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and New York's JFK.
More than 100 staffers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are being deployed to three US airports to check passengers arriving from Wuhan, China, for fever and other symptoms of a mysterious new virus that's killed two and infected dozens in China, the CDC announced Friday.
A second person has died from a new SARS-like virus in ChinaIt's a highly unusual step. The last time the CDC did routine passenger health screening was during the 2014 Ebola outbreak, according to Dr. Martin Cetron, director of the CDC's division of global migration and quarantine. "I've been here since 1996, and that's the only other time we've ever done this -- for Ebola," Cetron said.The screenings at New York City's John F.
After further investigation, travelers that are symptomatic will be sent to local hospitals that work with the CDC. Cetron said the symptoms of the new virus are so common that he expects the screenings will catch many more people with the flu or other winter viruses than with the new coronavirus. If it turns out someone does have the new virus, they'll be isolated in the hospital.
