Travellers from Ebola-affected countries will face increased security scrutiny¹ at five major US airports.

从埃博拉病毒影响的国家来美国的旅行者在美国五大机场将面临更严密的安全审查。

Passengers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will have their temperatures taken and have to answer questions.

The new measures at O'Hare in Chicago, JFK and Newark in the New York area, Washington's Dulles, and Atlanta's airport will begin in the coming days.

The Ebola outbreak has already killed more than 3,000 people and infected more than 7,200, mostly in West Africa.

The increase in passenger testing comes after the first person diagnosed with Ebola on US soil died in Dallas on Wednesday.

Thomas Duncan travelled to the US from Liberia, and was only diagnosed with the disease once he arrived in Texas.

A police officer who visited Mr Duncan's home is now reported to have Ebola-like symptoms and has been taken to hospital as a precaution.

Frisco Mayor Maher Maso described the risk as "minimal²", but officials were taking "an abundance of caution"

Test results were expected back within about 48 hours, Mr Maso said.
