The hospitals were evaluated by the CDC’s Rapid Ebola Preparedness team, and staff were trained in infection control, use of personal protective equipment and removal of waste from patient rooms. The CDC reviewed 50 hospitals in 15 states. About 80% of people entering the U.S. from the affected West African countries live within 200 miles of one of the centers, according to the agency. Every person returning from these regions is required to take their temperature daily for 21 days, the incubation period for the virus. More than 3,000 travelers have been monitored by the CDC and state health departments since the program was implemented in November. More Ebola treatment centers may be added in coming weeks, but for now, here is a list of the approved facilities: * Kaiser Oakland Medical Center; Oakland, California * Kaiser South Sacramento Medical Center; Sacramento, California * University of California Davis Medical Center; Sacramento, California * University of California San Francisco Medical Center; San Francisco, California * Emory University Hospital; Atlanta, Georgia * Ann & Robert H.
