- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined the health precautions implemented by travelers to countries with Ebola virus disease (EVD) as of May 2016. It focuses on the move by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to isolate and test symptomatic persons under active monitoring for Ebola virus. Based on the study, individuals who traveled to EVD-affected countries did not employ major health precautions.
