South and North Carolina have protocols short of quarantine in place.
South Carolina is following federal guidelines, which call for active monitoring of these workers by public health staff as opposed to quarantine, according to Doug Mayer, spokesman for South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
“Going forward,” he told The Greenville News, “we are awaiting the updated guidelines … and will evaluate whether or not there is a need to take additional measures.”
In North Carolina, state epidemiologist Dr. Megan Davies said public health nurses will monitor for 21 days travelers from the affected countries who have no identified risks.
Those with an exposure risk but no symptoms will undergo daily personal assessments, and their movement will be monitored and restricted if necessary, she said.
