Thursday at a congressional hearing on Ebola, Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO) questioned John P. Wagner, the acting assistant commissioner at the Office of Field Operations, Customs and Border Protection at the Department of Homeland Security about the number of people entering the United States from West African countries.
Gardner first asked CDC Director Dr Tom Frieden, “I think you mentioned there were approximately 100 to 150 people a day coming into the United States from the infected areas?”
…
FRIEDEN: That’s my understanding, yes.
GARDNER: Mr. Wagner you admitted we’re screening 94 percent of those people?
WAGNER: As of today that covers about 94 percent.
GARDNER: So if 94 percent are being covered, that means somewhere between two and three thousand people a year are coming into this country without being screened from the infected areas?
…
GARDNER: Will you be checking their temperature?
WAGNER: We will not be checking their temperatures or having them fill out a contact sheet.
GARDNER: There’s 2,000 to 3,000 people their — entering this country a year without checking their temperature, without having a contact sheet.
