How a Photographer Leaves the Hot Zone: A First-Hand Account of Ebola Screening – by Marcus DiPaola | The Photo Brigade

On the way home, photographers should expect to face three levels of screening: in the hot zone, in a transit country, and in their home country.

It was challenging, but not quite as challenging as trying to leave the country.
