CDC Mandates Ebola Health Attestation for U.S. International Travelers

The CDC has issued a public health order requiring all international travelers to the U.S. to complete an attestation confirming they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo within the last 21 days. This measure, effective November 3, 2026, responds to an Ebola outbreak in Africa where the death toll has exceeded 5,300, primarily in the DRC. This aims to mitigate the risk of international transmission.
