RISK ASSESSMENT FOR TRAVELERS FROM EBOLA OUTBREAK-AFFECTED COUNTRIES

Instructions to CDC staff:

Read the following risk assessment questions to the traveler. Get a description of any high-risk or some-risk activities identified. Dates of exposure must be obtained.
NOTE: “person with Ebola” includes confirmed or suspect cases or unexplained sudden deaths in outbreak-affected areas. For the purpose of this document, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is defined as: wearing gloves, gown, and face protection including goggles or face shield plus face mask during every potential exposure.
The form must be completed through question 5. Check YES, NO or UNKNOWN. If a HIGH risk exposure is identified in 1-5, you may stop. If only exposure is “household contact”, also complete question 6.
Describe on page 3 of this form any high-risk or some-risk exposures identified.
Check overall exposure assessment.
Complete signs/symptom section using checkboxes. Record measured temperature and date of first symptom onset. Record whether fever-reducing medications were taken, including dose and last time taken.
Check disposition.
