Analysis to Enhance the Effectiveness of the Federal Quarantine Station Network based on Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic

Completed

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) protects U.S. communities from the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases by anticipating, preventing, detecting, and responding to public health threats. The emergence of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic has prompted the CDC to request an external assessment of the role of DGMQ and the federal quarantine stations to mitigate the risk of onward communicable disease transmission given the changes in the global environment, including large increases in international travel, threats posed by emerging infections, and the movement of animals and cargo.
