New Ebola Travel Rules: Americans Can Return Through Dulles, But Some Tourists May Be Barred

The United States has announced new emergency travel restrictions for Americans and lawful permanent residents arriving from countries affected by the latest Ebola outbreak, requiring them to enter the country exclusively through Washington Dulles International Airport for enhanced health screenings.

The measure, announced by the State Department's TravelGov office, applies to all U.S.-bound citizens and green card holders who have been present in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda or South Sudan within 21 days of arrival in the United States.
