CDC Implements New Travel Restrictions Amid Ebola Outbreak in DRC

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has expanded travel restrictions to prevent the spread of Ebola from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Under the new 'Do Not Board' policy, U.S. citizens who have been in the DRC within the previous 21 days, along with certain travelers from Uganda and South Sudan, must quarantine in a third country before entering the United States. This policy, announced on July 15, 2026, comes as the DRC faces the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history, with the Bundibugyo strain infecting at least 2,124 people and resulting in 828 deaths.

American Humanitarian Workers Quarantined in Kenya Amid Ebola Precautions

Several American humanitarian workers who were involved in Ebola response efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo are currently quarantined in Kenya. This precautionary measure, confirmed by the U.S. State Department, involves a 21-day isolation period in a facility managed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The workers are asymptomatic and have not tested positive for Ebola. The quarantine is part of a protocol requiring isolation in a third country before returning to the U.S. The situation has sparked controversy in Kenya, where the establishment of the quarantine center faced legal challenges and public protests.
