Abstract EN
We present entry and exit screening outcomes on all persons passing through Freetown International Airport (FNA) in Sierra Leone during the period 1st September 2014 to 4th February 2016.
A total of 166,242 persons underwent screening for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) at FNA.
Five persons were denied air travel from Sierra Leone after secondary screening.
Laboratory testing revealed none were positive for EVD.
No cases were identified through entry screening route.
The public health value of airport screening for EVD is discussed.
