DHS Adds 2 Airports to Ebola Entry Rules as Dulles-Only Order Expands

5 articles · Updated · Customs and Border Protection · May 22

Atlanta and Houston were added to the U.S. list of designated Ebola-screening arrival airports, ending the initial requirement that covered travelers land only at Washington Dulles.
The change applies to passengers who were in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda or South Sudan within 21 days of entering or attempting to enter the United States.
Atlanta joins the program for flights departing after 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 22, while Houston follows for departures after 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 26.
DHS said the move supports CDC enhanced public health measures during the ongoing Ebola outbreak; crew and cargo-only flights remain exempt.
