Houston Screens for Ebola at Airports

Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport is now screening travelers from Ebola-affected African nations, alongside Atlanta and D.C., to catch potential cases before they spread. With over 1,000 suspected cases and 230 deaths in Congo, South Sudan, and Uganda, the U.S. is taking proactive steps — including mandatory 21-day quarantine for non-passport holders and detailed CDC interviews for passport holders. Anyone flagged with exposure risks gets immediate medical evaluation, while low-risk travelers are monitored locally. Officials reassure that the upcoming World Cup poses no Ebola threat since teams have already cleared screenings — and while Ebola preparedness has improved dramatically, the real concern remains measles outbreaks due to low vaccination rates.
