Canonical event record

What happened

The CDC will require passengers boarding international flights to the US to attest that they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the previous 21 days. Airlines and industry groups are seeking more preparation time.

Why it matters: Airlines say the broad requirement creates significant systems, training and administrative burdens despite very limited traveler links to the DRC.
