US CDC Mandates Ebola Health Declaration for Travelers from DRC

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has instituted a new health attestation requirement for international travelers. Effective November 3, 2026, individuals flying to the United States must confirm they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo within the 21 days preceding their flight. This measure aims to bolster health security by screening for potential Ebola exposure among international arrivals.
