CDC Implements New Ebola Travel Screening for U.S.-Bound International Flights

The CDC is implementing a new travel rule for US-bound international flights, effective November 3, 2026. Travelers must attest they have not been in the Democratic Republic of Congo for 21 days due to a major Ebola outbreak there, with over 10,200 cases and nearly 5,000 deaths. This measure aims to mitigate potential spread, though the CDC states the overall risk to the American public remains low.
