On May 18, 2021, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published in the Federal Register a notice that announces the decision of the Secretary of Homeland Security to terminate, as of 12:01 EDT on May 14, 2021, arrival restrictions applicable to flights to the United States carrying persons who have recently traveled from, or were otherwise present within, the Republic of Guinea. These arrival restrictions were initiated due to outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and in the Republic of Guinea. These restrictions directed such flights to land only at a limited set of United States airports where the United States government had focused public health resources to implement enhanced public health measures.
