@cdcgov: American air travelers should be aware that if they have been to China in the last 14 days, they will be routed through one of seven airports to undergo enhanced health screenings.
Any individual traveling from China who has either been in Hubei Province or other areas of the mainland and is showing symptoms associated with the virus will be screened and subject to mandatory quarantine by medical professionals at a nearby facility.
If a traveler who spent time in China, but outside the Hubei province, is re-routed through one of the seven airports and shows no symptoms following a health screening, they will be re-booked to their destination and asked to “self-quarantine” at their homes.
@CBP & air carriers are working to identify & rebook any passengers that meet these criteria; travelers w/out a nexus to China may also be routed through 1 of these 7 airports if it's discovered mid-flight that someone on their flight has been in China in the last 14 days
Travelers showing symptoms should be prepared for the possibility of prolonged delay to avoid spreading the infection.
