CDC Implements New Ebola Attestation Rule for All International Travelers to the U.S.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will require all passengers on international flights bound for the United States to sign an attestation form, effective November 3, 2026. This measure, in response to the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), confirms that travelers have not been present in the DRC during the 21 days prior to their flight. Airlines must verify these declarations before boarding.
