On December 3, 2024, DHS announced that it was terminating travel restrictions applicable to passengers arriving to the United States who recently traveled from or where otherwise present within the Republic of Rwanda. For flights to the United States transporting persons who recently traveled from or where otherwise present within Rwanda, the arrival restrictions terminated after 11:59 p.m. ET on December 4, 2024. Inbound passengers with a travel nexus to Rwanda are no longer subject to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) screening upon arrival at U.S. airports. Prior to the recent announcement, DHS and CDC were screening individuals with a travel nexus to Rwanda due to a Marburg outbreak.
