Gov. Rick Scott Mandates 21-Day Ebola Monitoring

[truebluefan]

Florida Gov. Rick Scott has issued an order on Saturday which mandates any citizen coming back from an Ebola affected country to undergo health monitoring.

Any traveler returning from places or countries considered to be a risk for Ebola as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention designates them will be required to be monitored twice a day for 21 days.

“This executive order will give the Florida Department of Health the authority they need to conduct 21-day health monitoring and risk assessments for all those who have returned or will return to Florida from the CDC designated Ebola-affected areas of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. We have asked the CDC to identify the risk levels of all returning individuals from these areas, but they have not provided that information.”
