How would a patient “screen positive” on travel history? Travel to and from only Uganda? Or should we include surrounding countries (Congo, etc.) or all of Africa?

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.
