Everyone On US-Bound Flights, Including Crew, Must Now Declare They Haven’t Been In Congo In The Last 21 Days
An Ebola outbreak in rural Congo has led to measures against travellers who've been to the country recently.
Everyone on US-bound flights, including crew, must declare they haven’t been in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the last 21 days. The requirement has been issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and is now in effect.
The rule applies to air travelers entering or connecting through the United States. All passengers and crew are asked to sign a declaration stating they have not been present in the DRC during the prior 21 days.
The measure is tied to an order on travel for the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is described as having come into effect, with the declaration requirement in place for those traveling to the U.S. by air.
