US Implements Enhanced Travel Screening for Citizens from Ebola-Affected Regions

The U.S. CDC has updated its travel guidelines for individuals returning from areas experiencing an Ebola outbreak, specifically the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan. While entry is still suspended for certain foreign nationals, U.S. citizens will now undergo enhanced public health screening. Reports suggest U.S. citizens in the DRC may face indirect travel routes and a potential 21-day stay in a third country before returning home.
