The United States has started routing travelers who recently visited countries affected by the Ebola outbreak to a single airport near Washington for health screening, officials told AFP on Thursday. The rule applies to people who were in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda or South Sudan within the last 21 days.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said affected travelers must now enter the US through Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia. The order was issued by US Customs and Border Protection and applies to flights departing after 11:59 pm on May 20.
