As a result of Ebola Virus Disease outbreak in West Africa, US campuses are screening students arriving from Nigeria and other West African countries.
Extra health checks are part of protocols campuses throughout the United States have in place as they prepare for as many as 10,000 students from Nigeria, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, where more than 1,000 people have died in the worst Ebola outbreak in history.
With the virus continuing to kill in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, the expected arrival of thousands of students from those countries has U.S. authorities on alert but cautioning against alarm.
The roughly 30 Nigerian students expected at the University of Illinois will be pulled aside for a temperature check and private Ebola discussion when they arrive at the health centre for mandatory immunization paperwork and tuberculosis screening, said Dr. Robert Palinkas, the centre’s director.
While the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued no specific recommendations for universities, some state health departments, including in South Carolina and North Dakota, have spelled out for administrators what symptoms to look for and how to react.
