U.S. officials are directing people flying from Rwanda to three airports for enhanced screening to try to prevent the Ebola-like Marburg virus from spreading into the United States.

All passengers headed for the United States from Rwanda will be routed to the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City, Chicago O'Hare International Airport, or Dulles International Airport in Virginia, near Washington, according to the U.S. Department of State.
