As the 2026 Ebola outbreak in Central Africa continues to expand — prompting the World Health Organization to declare it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) — Singapore has moved quickly to activate multi-layered border health surveillance across all entry points, with Changi Airport at the forefront.
As of June 11, 2026, Singapore has implemented health screening, surveillance, quarantine measures, and traveler-form requirements for arrivals from or transiting through affected regions, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, and South Sudan. The current Ebola wave is caused by the Bundibugyo virus strain and has drawn urgent international attention — with the U.S., Canada, and several other countries announcing formal entry restrictions for travelers from affected nations.
