Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport among 5 airports to receive passengers from Ebola-affected countries
The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that all people flying from three Ebola-affected nations must fly through one of five American airports. One of the airports being Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Inteational Airport.
DHS says this move is to help prevent the spread of the deadly virus in the United States.
Passengers flying from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea will undergo additional health screenings and protective measures that were put into place at the five airports last week. The five airports are JFK, Newark, Dulles, Atlanta and O'Hare.
This new mandate will go into effect Wednesday.
There are currently no direct flights from the affected nations into any airport in the United States.
