Monrovia — The United States Embassy near Monrovia has informed of the relaxation of screening procedures for passengers travelling to the United States from Liberia, which comes into effect on June 17, 2015. According to a Foreign Ministry release, the U.S. Government says travelers from Liberia will continue to be funneled through five selected U.S. Airports, but screening will be scaled back, while temperature will not be measured and reported on arrival, but contact information will still be left to state authorities.
It says though requirements for active monitoring will end immediately, local or states jurisdiction may exercise discretion. The United State Government further urges Liberia to remain vigilant since the threat of a renewed Ebola outbreak will remain in the region, especially until all effected countries reach the equivalent milestone. The U.S. Government also calls on Liberia to take rigorous surveillance measures, particularly along the Liberia Sierra Leone and Guinea borders as a best defense against the reintroduction of Ebola in Liberia, including maintaining effective entry and exit screening at all points of entry.
