Participants on the “NETEC Town Hall: Preparing Frontline Healthcare Workers for Ebola” webinar submitted questions to our subject matter experts. Many of the questions were answered during the event, however the remaining questions have been answered by our experts below. While many answers are universal, some responses are based on the practices within a particular institution that supports NETEC. If you have additional questions, please contact our support services group by filling out this form.
Q&As:
Travel Monitoring and Assessment
What would trigger a “positive” travel screen depends on some local contexts. We encourage facilities to discuss with their hospital epidemiologists and infection preventionists the best process and triggers for their facilities. At this time, the Sudan Ebolavirus is contained to specific areas of Uganda, thus CDC is only screening returning travelers that have been to Uganda recently.
