Thailand Implements Enhanced Ebola Screening and Quarantine Measures for Travelers

The U.S. Embassy in Thailand has issued a health alert regarding new Ebola disease-related screening and quarantine measures implemented by Thailand. Effective May 27, 2026, travelers who have stayed in or transited through Ebola-affected countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, will be screened at international ports of entry and may face mandatory quarantine or self-isolation for at least 21 days. These measures follow the World Health Organization's Public Health Emergency declaration, despite Thailand currently having no confirmed Ebola cases.
