US Travel Restrictions for Citizens Returning from DRC Amid Ebola Concerns

U.S. citizens who have traveled to the DRC must spend at least 21 days outside the country before returning to the U.S.
The restrictions were implemented following heightened concerns about the spread of Ebola, with over 1,900 confirmed cases reported in the DRC.
The Trump administration had previously warned against travel to the DRC, and non-U.S. citizens were already restricted from traveling to the U.S. after spending time in the DRC.
