Developing a framework for assessing and managing individual-level risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) exposure in mobile populations

Updated Nov. 5, 2020To provide a framework of considerations for ministries of health and their partners to use while designing and implementing travel-related intervention strategies. The recommendations are based on individual-level risk assessment of potential infection of arriving travelers to mitigate the geographic spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This framework focuses on public health measures to mitigate risks of COVID-19 spread among those crossing international borders and for communities through which they travel; it serves as a discussion guide to begin country-specific conversations for assessing risk of exposure and categorizing levels of monitoring and movement to establish approaches commensurate with resources and policies. This document is not intended for risk assessment and management of persons traveling into and within the United States.2020E:\cpapFiles\WebServer\COVIDxposure-mobile-populations2020nov05.pdfhttps://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/global-covid-19/exposure-mobile-populations.html865
