Travellers from Ebola-affected countries will face increased security scrutiny at five major US airports.
Passengers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will have their temperatures taken and have to answer questions.
The deadly Ebola outbreak has already killed more than 3,000 people infected more than 7,200, mostly in West Africa.
The new security measures at O’Hare in Chicago, New York’s JFK and Newark, Washington’s Dulles and Atlanta airport could begin this weekend.
Customs and Border Protection will dispatch staff to these five airports, which account for 90% of travellers to the US, with 160 people coming from these countries each day.
Travellers will also be given a questionnaire, and if they answer yes to any questions or are running a fever, a representative of the Centers for Disease Control will intervene.
