Reuters reports US-bound passengers and crew would need to declare no travel to DR Congo in the prior 21 days.
TLDR
Reuters reports that IATA and Airlines for America asked the CDC to reconsider a rule set to take effect November 3, 2026. It would require all US-bound airline passengers and crew to attest they had not been in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the prior 21 days. The groups say airlines lack time to change their procedures. IATA also questions why the requirement does not cover maritime or surface travel.
