Officials said the new screening location will begin operations in the coming days. The airport joins five other U.S. facilities already performing temperature checks and symptom assessments for passengers from affected regions.
Current entry requirements include temperature measurement and questions about recent travel and possible exposure. Passengers who show symptoms or report potential contact may be referred for additional medical evaluation. No changes to visa policy or general entry requirements were announced.
Health authorities will monitor traveler volumes and case reports from outbreak countries to determine whether additional airports will receive the enhanced screening designation.
