Worldwide Caution: The Department of State advises Americans worldwide to exercise increased caution.

Event:

The Trump Administration has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans.

To reduce the risk of Ebola importation into the United States, CDC is temporarily restricting U.S. entry for travelers who were recently in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Travelers, including Americans, who have been in the DRC within 21 days of their flight will not be allowed to board commercial flights with U.S. destinations. All U.S. citizens and U.S. nationals who have been in the DRC should plan to remain outside the DRC for 21 days before entering the United States.

U.S. citizens and U.S. nationals who have been present in Uganda or South Sudan (and not present in DRC) within 21 days of arrival in the United States must only enter through designated airports for enhanced screening. Please review the CDC’s information on what travelers need to know about returning to the United States from DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan for the list of designated airports and for health information about Ebola.
