US-bound air travelers must complete Ebola declaration from Nov. 3
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has required all passengers on international flights to the United States to declare that they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the 21 days before travel. Passengers who do not submit the declaration will not be allowed to board.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced a new requirement for all international flights to the United States due to an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Under the decision signed on October 22, passengers must declare that they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the 21 days before travel.
The requirement applies to flights departing for the United States from 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 3. It covers U.S. citizens, green card holders and passengers transiting through the United States to a third country, including those arriving from Türkiye and Arab countries.
Airlines will prevent anyone who does not complete the declaration from boarding and will retain copies for at least 42 days after the flight arrives. The declaration may be submitted with a paper signature, a verified digital signature or through an electronic field provided by the airline.
The decision is scheduled to remain in effect until December 18, 2026, unless it is revoked, amended or extended. Anyone who intentionally provides false information may face fines and imprisonment.
