RISK ASSESSMENT FOR TRAVELERS FROM COUNTRIES WITH WIDESPREAD EBOLA VIRUS TRANSMISSION

Instructions to CDC staff:

  • Read the following risk assessment questions to the traveler. All questions refer to the past 21 days. Relevant countries are those with either widespread transmission or localized transmission with uncertain control measures.

  • Questions 1-6 must be completed. Check YES, NO or UNKNOWN. If a HIGH risk exposure is identified in questions 1-6, you may stop. If no high risk exposures are identified in questions 1-6, also complete question 7.

  • Get a description of any potential exposures identified or any situation where exposure is uncertain and document on page 3. Dates of exposure must be obtained. Ask additional questions as needed to get as complete a description as possible. Call Global Migration Task Force (GMTF) Ebola Consultant on-call for high or some risk exposures or when risk is uncertain.

  • Complete assessment section on page 2. Check overall exposure assessment.

  • Complete signs/symptom section using checkboxes. Record measured temperature and date of first symptom onset. Record whether fever-reducing medications were taken, including dose and last time taken.

  • Check disposition and record state/local health department (S/L HD) notification.

  • Complete and sign evaluator section. Medical officer must co-sign for any public health action beyond releasing the traveler.

  • NOTE: “Person with Ebola” includes confirmed or suspect cases or any person who died of an illness that included fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or unexplained bleeding. If not a confirmed case, get more information about illness/death circumstances.

  • For the purpose of this document, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is defined as wearing (at a minimum): facemask, eye protection (goggles/face shield), gloves, impermeable gown, boots/shoe covers during every potential exposure.

  • Body fluids include urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, and semen.

Tell traveler: You were referred for public health assessment because of possible exposure to Ebola. I am going to ask you a few questions to get more information. This will help us decide if you need additional evaluation or monitoring.

The legal authorities for this collection are sections 311 and 361-368 of the Public Health Service Act.

NOTE: While cooperation with CDC during this proposed risk assessment is voluntary, if an individual refuses to provide the requested information, or is not truthful about the information provided during screening or an illness investigation, CDC may, if it is reasonably believed that the individual is infected with or has been exposed to Ebola, quarantine, isolate, or place the individual under surveillance under 42 CFR 71.32 and 71.33.

Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.  An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA 0920-1031.
