Washington, October 9 (RHC)-- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it is preparing to roll out tougher Ebola screening measures at airports later this week.

The new requirements would take effect in the United States and overseas. CDC Director Tom Frieden said the global Ebola response should not stigmatize or demonize people or communities.

The director of the Atlanta-based Centers said: "We can never forget that the enemy here is a virus. The enemy is Ebola, not people, not countries, not communities -- a virus. And it’s a virus that doesn’t spread through the air and that we do know how to control. We do know how to stop it, by isolating patients, doing contact tracing and breaking the chains of transmission."
