Every passenger flying to the US must now sign a new form from November 3, according to The Tico Times. This new rule is a result of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issuing a new travel declaration due to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has approached 5,000 deaths, as reported by CIDRAP. The CDC's decision is a response to the Democratic Republic of Congo confirming a case of Ebola for the first time in over a decade, according to Business Insider Africa.
Airline groups, however, are urging the CDC to reconsider the Ebola declaration requirements, as reported by Reuters. Fox News notes that this deadly disease has sparked the new CDC rule for US-bound flyers. The coverage does not yet specify whether the CDC will reconsider the new travel declaration requirements.
The reporting also does not provide information on the potential impact of the new rule on airline operations or passenger flow.
