PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania health officials said Friday they will rely on federal travel data to identify and monitor people who arrive in the state after spending time in Ebola-stricken West African nations.

A state Department of Health spokeswoman said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s lists of travelers and their possible risk factors are a key component of enhanced monitoring that begins Monday.

Pennsylvania is among the first six states in the new CDC program. The others are New York, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and Georgia. Together, they represent 70 percent of people arriving from the three West African countries, according to the CDC.

State health spokeswoman Aimee Tysarczyk said officials are primarily keeping tabs on travelers coming to Pennsylvania via five out-of-state airports — two are in the New York area, one is near Washington, D.C. — where the CDC is already checking passengers for signs of the deadly virus.

Pennsylvania airports have no direct flights from the three West African countries. Tysarczyk said no special monitoring will be set up within the state.

Tysarczyk said travelers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will be given a CARE kit — the acronym stands for Check and Report Ebola — consisting of a thermometer, a log book to track body temperatures and symptoms, fact sheets and a contact list with 24-hour Health Department phone numbers.

They will be asked to check in with officials twice a day for three weeks via phone, video chat or in person. In some counties, the local health department will take charge.

She said the monitoring protocols could change as the CDC shares new information about the virus.
