Article Synopsis
- The Ebola outbreak in West Africa saw around 25,000 cases, far exceeding previous outbreaks, prompting the CDC to recommend enhanced screening for travelers from affected areas.
- The Georgia Department of Public Health created an Ebola Active Monitoring System (EAMS) in just 6 days to monitor "low risk" travelers by requiring them to report their health status daily.
- By March 2015, EAMS allowed two epidemiologists to effectively manage the monitoring of approximately 100 travelers daily, highlighting the potential for similar systems in other regions.
