Overview

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for coronavirus infection.

Screening

• There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for coronavirus infection.
• In the wake of the recent SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, people with a recent travel history of China and Southeast Asia are actively being screened and evaluated at the ports of entry.
  • The evaluation is majorly dependent on travelers' history of travel and the presence/absence of symptoms.
