US to Screen Passengers at Airports for Signs of New China Virus

Megan Duzor

   U.S. health officials announced Friday that the United States will
   begin screening airline passengers arriving from central China for
   signs of a new virus outbreak that has killed two people and sickened
   dozens of others.

   Officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said
   the screenings will take place at airports in San Francisco, New York
   and Los Angeles, and will focus on direct or connecting flights from
   Wuhan, the central Chinese city at the heart of the outbreak.

   A CDC spokesman, Scott Pauley, told VOA that only people traveling from
   Wuhan would be screened at this time.
