Obama Announces New Ebola Screenings

While speaking to reporters Monday, President Obama announced that the U.S. government will be placing additional screenings on passengers in both the U.S. and Africa to try to detect the Ebola virus. However, the president will not impose a travel ban on people traveling from the countries hardest hit. The president did not detail what the new screenings would involve. Current policy has passengers leaving Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone screened for symptoms at the airport.
