Obama Says Delegates from Ebola-hit Regions to be Screened for Africa Summit

The United States will screen delegates from Ebola-hit countries coming to Washington for an unprecedented U.S.-Africa summit, President Barack Obama said Friday, voicing confidence appropriate measures have been taken.

"Folks that are coming from these countries that have even a marginal risk, or an infinitesimal risk of having been exposed in some fashion, we're making sure we're doing screening on that end as they leave the country," Obama told reporters, adding there would be "additional screening" when they were in the U.S.
