In an effort to curb the spread of Ebola, New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport has reportedly started health screenings for some travelers  even as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that nothing can ‘get the risk to zero’.

As the screenings began on Saturday, the CDC made it clear that the move is not a mass event and only 150 travelers will receive screenings in a day, reported CNN. Some passengers from affected areas like Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea who landed in the airport were screened.  Passengers were required to get their temperature measured and answer questions about their health and possible exposure to Ebola.Those suspected of possible Ebola exposure will be referred to a CDC public health officer for additional screening.

Dr. Martin Cetron, director of the CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, warned that no matter how many procedures are put in place, the risk cannot be minimized to zero. He added that the move will just add an additional measure of security to the American public. Also Read - 7 reasons why the #BeefBan is good

After the initial run at JFK, the screening is expected to be expanded to Washington-Dulles, Newark, Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta on Thursday.The five airports receive 94 percent of the travelers coming from the affected countries, the CDC said.

This additional screening should add a measure of security to American citizens.
