The National Ebola Response Center (NERC) detected and confirmed a case of Ebola involving a person who worked at the airport up to mid-December but had not worked since that time. Nerc also reported that another airport employee who had been in contact with the person has not come to work since Christmas Day. Due to these developments, additional measures have been put in place to enhance robust screening which include documentation of employees temperatures at the airport front gate and entry to the terminal. Health Minister Dr Abubakarr Fofanah said, "Screening of workers at the airport in Freetown will now be done on a 24-hour basis to detect any suspicion of Ebola on a worker or traveler."
