But five U.S. airports are screening travelers from Wuhan
On Jan. 23, however, a representative from the CDC’s preparedness and response division told TIME that those airports are, indeed, screening passengers who may have contracted coronavirus while abroad, but flights into the U.S. are not being rerouted to ensure that travelers pass through one of them.
CDC spokespeople said the agency is working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement travel and screening plans. CBP and the U.S. Department of Transportation, meanwhile, directed TIME back to the CDC for comment.
