• The high number of cases reported is due to a backlog of case investigation forms that were being held in the field
• Members of the CHT visited West Point and the following actions were taken:
– Medical Team posted at transit unit at West point
– CMO arranged with the Star of the Sea Clinic to receive case(s) screened by the transit unit that are NOT EVD related for treatment.
– JFK ETU to receive case(s) from the Transit unit from West point.
– Three (3) persons were assigned to a “block” to conduct house visitation and referral of cases to the Transit Unit as well as report deaths.
