CDC Mandates Attestation for Travelers to US from Democratic Republic of Congo Due to Ebola Concerns

Effective November 3, 2026, all passengers boarding international flights to or connecting through the United States must complete a CDC attestation form. This form confirms they have not been present in the Democratic Republic of the Congo within the 21 days prior to boarding, including those who transited through the country by air, land, or sea. This requirement, which applies to all passengers regardless of nationality, will remain in effect until December 18, 2026, unless modified by the CDC.
