Dear [INSERT Name of POC/Airline]:
A public health authority notified the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the travel history of an ill passenger. We believe this person was infectious during travel. In collaboration with CDC, area health departments are undertaking an investigation of possible contacts to this newly identified case for clinical evaluation of infection and treatment where indicated. Based on expert opinions as data are lacking, CDC considers the risk of infection for passengers on board the same flights as the ill passenger to vary depending on the aircraft size.
We are requesting information necessary to identify and locate passengers.
If you have specific questions about the ill passenger or other potentially exposed passengers, you may direct them to [INSERT Name of lead QMO with e-mail and phone number].
If you have additional questions about this order or how the requested information will be used by CDC, please contact Aviation Activity by email at, airadmin@cdc.gov , or by phone at, (404) 718 – 3497.
Please see the attached password-protected manifest request. The password will be sent in a separate email.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
