CDC to Require Ebola Attestation for All International Flights to U.S. Starting November 3

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is implementing a new rule requiring all international travelers flying to the United States to sign an Ebola attestation, effective 11:59 PM EST on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. This measure, in response to the second-largest Ebola outbreak recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), mandates travelers to confirm they have not been in the DRC in the last 21 days. Airlines have expressed concerns about the short implementation timeframe.
