The Trump administration announced on July 14, 2026, that US citizens currently in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are prohibited from returning to the United States due to an ongoing Ebola outbreak. Those affected include Americans who have recently traveled to the DRC and have been placed on a 'do-not-board' list. They must spend 21 days in a third country before being allowed to return. This decision, made under Title 49 transportation authority, has already impacted approximately two dozen Americans who were scheduled to fly home. It is currently unclear whether this restriction also applies to government employees, including those from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who are working in the DRC.
