Americans returning from DRC must enter US via Washington Dulles, State Dept says

Americans who ​have been in ​the Democratic Republic ‌of the ​Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within the last ‌three weeks must only return to the United States through Washington Dulles for enhanced screening, ‌the State Department said.

The U.S. Centers for ‌Disease Control and Prevention and Customs and Border Protection are applying enhanced public health screening at Dulles ⁠in ​response ⁠to the Ebola outbreak. An Air France flight from ⁠Paris to Detroit on Wednesday was ordered diverted ​to Montreal after a passenger from ⁠the DRC boarded "in error," CBP said.

The CDC on Monday ⁠said ​it was suspending entry of travelers who have been in the DRC ⁠and South Sudan within the prior weeks of ⁠arrival ⁠in the United States to reduce the risk of Ebola spread.
