Abstract

The extensive application of FPHTR for more than 3000 persons over a period of 29 months during the COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented. The additional use of FPHTR required extraordinary effort and collaboration among CDC staff and local/state public health agencies for case investigation, reporting, exchange of information, and communication with travelers for case management. Use of this tool should be considered within the context current transmission risk and disease severity.
