Travelers will be monitored by state health departments after their arrival in the U.S.

Key facts

▪Two additional U.S. airports were added for entry: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
▪The World Health Organization declared the Ebola outbreak a public health emergency of international concern on May 17.
