CDC has been tasked with conducting public health assessments at U.S. airports of travelers coming from areas experiencing an outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD) originating in Rwanda. The purpose is to detect ill travelers or travelers at high-risk of becoming ill with MVD from regions affected by the outbreak. As the response evolves, CDC may be tasked with performing this action for additional travelers in the future. This information will help CDC determine if illness investigations and medical care is needed, or if CDC should inform state and local health departments of travelers.
This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to modify the CDC Initial Screening and POE Public Health Risk Assessment forms. The purpose of this change is to streamline the data collection by providing clarifying language and reordering the questions to streamline the forms for both travelers and CDC staff conducting these screenings. There is no change to the approved burden hours.
To further protect U.S. communities from an imported case of MVD, the United States must be prepared to respond domestically by providing state and local health departments and healthcare facilities with the necessary assessments and questionnaires that can assist in identifying symptoms of or high-risk exposures to MVD in travelers arriving from areas affected by the outbreak. With assistance from the Department of Homeland Security, CDC will conduct these emergency assessments at designated U.S. airports that are receiving travelers from the outbreak areas, with assistance from the Department of Homeland Security. This system of risk assessment and triage will facilitate transmission of information to assist state and local health departments to complete a 21-day follow-up period and prevent introduction and spread of MVD into the United States.
