CDC Mandates Ebola Travel Attestation for All U.S.-Bound International Flights

Effective November 4, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has implemented a new requirement for all passengers on international flights bound for the United States. Travelers must now sign a statement attesting that they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) within 21 days prior to departure. This measure is in response to an Ebola outbreak in the DRC and applies regardless of the embarkation location.
