[Camerota:] Welcome back to NEW DAY. Now to the latest in the fight against Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control now stepping up containment efforts saying every airline passenger who arrives in the U.S. from one of the three hardest-hit West African countries will be monitored by state and local health officials for 21 days. And an encouraging update to tell you about, Dallas Nurse Amber Vinson's family says she is now Ebola free, but Atlanta's Emory University Hospital has not officially confirmed that. Let's get to our senior medical correspondent, Elizabeth Cohen. She joins us live with the latest. Elizabeth, what is the latest?
[Elizabeth Cohen, Cnn Senior Medical Correspondent:] Alisyn, good morning. The Vinson family says that they can't detect Ebola in Amber Vinson's blood and they say that she's been approved to move out of isolation and that she is regaining her strength. Also good news for Ashoka Mukpo, he is the NBC cameraman who also had Ebola is also Ebola free. He's been discharged from the hospital and he also went on "NBC Nightly News" and said that having this disease allowed him to better connect with the people he was covering.
[Ashoka Mukpo, Nbc Freelance Cameraman:] You know your life is hanging by a thread. It makes me remember a lot of these people that I filmed, a lot of these people that I talked to, and to kind of connect with the kind of fear that they must have felt, and you know, there's almost no words for that.
[Cohen:] Now travelers coming back from Ebola-affected countries to the U.S. will get much more screening than I had when I came back from Liberia last month. They will be given thermometers, told to take their temperature twice a day for 21 days and given a list of symptoms to watch out for Alisyn.
[Camerota:] That seems like progress, to monitor them for 21 days so we don't see a repeat of what happened in Dallas. Elizabeth, thank you.
[Cohen:] Thanks.
[Camerota:] Well, Canada's prime minister declaring the country will not be intimidated by terrorism. Less than 24 hours after the brazen parliament shooting spree, what do we know about that gunman? We will go back to Chris in Canada and he'll be joined by a senator who was at parliament when this attack happened.
