State and local officials will maintain daily contact with all travelers from the three affected cou

The boy, who was running a temperature,was with his mother at New York s Bellevue Hospital Center, said Dr. Ram Raju, president of the New York City Health north korea tours and Hospitals Corp., which oversees Bellevue.
Her quarantine, part of a days-old policy the governors north korea tours of New York and New Jersey instituted for all health care workers who ve had contact with Ebola patients in West Africa, has been criticized widely by health care experts.
This is an extreme that is really unacceptable, and I feel like my basic human rights have been violated, Hickox said. She said she was flummoxed as to how New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has no medical training, could describe her as obviously ill.
The U.S. Constitution gives states authority over how to approach health matters, though the federal government has control over what happens concerning public health in airports and shipping ports, Gravely said.
The new guidelines increase the level of protection by outlining different levels of exposure and outlining different public health actions that can be taken for each of those levels of exposure, CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden told reporters.
Someone who had direct contact of infected body fluids, for instance, would be classified as high risk. Someone would be considered low risk if she traveled on an airplane with a person showing symptoms of Ebola.
The director of the CDC said that active 21-day monitoring began Monday in the six states where about 70% of air travelers enter the United States from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, hard-hit countries in West Africa. Those states are New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and Georgia.
State and local officials will maintain daily contact with all travelers from the three affected countries for the entire 21 days after the last possible date of exposure to Ebola virus, Frieden said.
Authorities north korea tours will require travelers to report their temperatures and the presence or absence of Ebola symptoms aside from a fever, he explained, and they will be required to coordinate with public health officials if they intend to travel and to make arrangements to have their temperatures monitored during travel in a manner acceptable to state and local health officials.
Maryland officials will monitor the health of all travelers returning from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, Gov. Martin O Malley s office said. The effort will build on state and local health departments outreach and monitoring, according north korea tours to a statement that explains more about the process. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn s office said the quarantine would be a home quarantine.
On Friday, Cuomo and Christie announced a mandatory quarantine for people who had been in West Africa and had contact there with people infected with Ebola. Christie said such returning health care workers who are New Jersey residents could be quarantinefd in their homes as long as they did not have symptoms consistent north korea tours with Ebola.
The reason she was put in the hospital north korea tours in the first place was because she was running north korea tours a high fever and was symptomatic. If you live in New Jersey, you re quarantined in your home. That s always been the policy. If you live outside the state, and you re symptomatic, we re not letting you go onto public transportation. It makes no common sense. The minute she was no longer symptomatic, she was released.
Virginia north korea tours is implementing an active monitoring program for all returning passengers from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, with a special emphasis on returning health care workers, Virginia governor s spokesman Brian Coy has said.
I m concerned of the disincentive for the health care workers to travel to West Africa, said Dr. Anthony north korea tours Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.
An expert who has studied Ebola for more than a decade, Purdue University s David Sanders, told CNN on Monday that he feels the policy on mandatory quarantines in New York and New Jersey are largely political rather north korea tours than medical fact and that leaders are acting based on the desire to calm a panicked public rather than to do what s most beneficial.
Forced quarantine of asymptomatic health workers returning from fighting north korea tours the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is not grounded on scientific evidence and could undermine efforts to curb the epidemic at its source, the group said.
Ambassador Power and the traveling party were obviously aware of the discussions of potential quarantines by state and local officials prior to departure and will, of course, be prepared to abide by requirements upon return.
That said, they are also in close contact with the CDC, with medical experts and are taking absolutely north korea tours every precaution to stay safe and to avoid contracting the disease, a risk that pales in comparison to the risk we take if the international community does not take further action, said Jen Psaki, spokeswoman for the State Department.
On Monday, CNN learned from military officials that Army Maj. Gen. Darryl north korea tours A. Williams, who s commander of U.S. Army Africa, and about 10 other personnel are now in controlled monitoring in Italy after landing there following a West Africa trip over the weekend.
The Army Chief of Staff has directed a 21-day controlled monitoring period for all redeploying soldiers returning from Operation United Assistance. He has done this out of caution to ensure soldiers, family members and their surrounding communities including host nations are confident that we are taking all steps necessary to protect their health, the Army said in a statement.
Well, in general one might be inclined better safe than sorry . However, the general attitude of officials to Ebola is to look out for symptoms rather too late. With an incubation period of 21 days and a median maybe of ten days, looking out simply for signs of fever e.g. at (air) ports of destination is no better than rolling dice. And: if there was an overwhelming amount of suspects I would almost guarantee that the state(s) concerned do not have enough space equipped with the right stuff to quarantine these potential virus carriers. This is all just for show.
