More than 1,400 people in 44 states are being actively monitored for Ebola after returning to the U.S. from West Africa, Sharyl Attkisson reports.
“They are being monitored because they came from one of the four countries with ongoing Ebola outbreaks,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, according to Ms. Attkisson, an independent investigative journalist who previously worked for CBS News.
The
Department of Homeland Security reportedly began Oct. 22 requiring all
U.S. bound passengers from Ebola-infected West African countries to
arrive at one of five U.S. airports with enhanced screening. No new
Ebola cases have been reported in the U.S. since Oct. 23, Ms. Attkisson said.
