Are other countries screening travelers visiting their country for H1N1 flu?
As of November 2, 2009, the CDC advises that some countries may screen international travelers for possible H1N1 flu. Due to the circulation of H1N1 influenza in the United States and many other countries, airport staff in some foreign countries may check the health of arriving passengers. Many other countries, including Japan and China, are screening arriving passengers for symptoms of the flu. In other countries that are conducting entry screening for H1N1 flu, travelers may be checked for fever and other symptoms of H1N1 flu, and their travel may be delayed. Consult the embassy of the country, or countries, in your travel itinerary for information about entry screening procedures (see websites of U.S. Embassies, Consulates, and Diplomatic Missions for contact information: http://www.usembassy.gov). See the CDC travel website or call the CDC hotline for the most up-to-date-information (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/content/news-announcements/delays-H1N1-screening.aspx).
