United States Extends Entry Restrictions in Response to Ebola Outbreak
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has extended entry restrictions introduced in response to the Ebola outbreak in Africa for a further 30 days, effective from 10 November 2026.
The restrictions apply to foreign nationals who have been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Uganda or South Sudan during the 21 days before traveling to the United States, regardless of their nationality. Additional requirements are also in place for U.S. citizens and nationals who have recently traveled to affected countries.
From 3 November 2026, all passengers boarding an international flight to the United States must also sign an attestation confirming they have not been present in the DRC during the 21 days before their flight.
With requirements continuing to evolve, travelers with recent travel to the affected countries should check the latest restrictions before finalizing plans.
