DHS TERMINATES CERTAIN ARRIVAL RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO EBOLA VIRUS
May 17, 2021
On April 29, 2021, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it would be terminating arrival restrictions for flights to the U.S. carrying persons who have recently traveled from, or were otherwise present within, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). These arrival restrictions were initiated due to outbreaks of Ebola Virus Disease in the DRC and in the Republic of Guinea, and required these flights to land at a limited number of designated airports in the U.S. However, the DHS announcement made clear that the arrival restrictions for flights to the U.S. carrying persons who have recently traveled from, or were otherwise present within, the Republic of Guinea remain in effect.
