This document provides a checklist for screening and evaluating patients for potential Ebola virus disease (EVD). The checklist asks whether the patient has a fever, compatible EVD symptoms such as headache, weakness, or gastrointestinal issues, and if they have travelled to an Ebola-affected area within the last 21 days. If so, medical administrators should be notified and precautions like personal protective equipment should be used to prevent contact with the patient.
