The CDC expanded enhanced Ebola entry screening to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on May 22, 2026, making it the third U.S. airport — alongside Washington Dulles and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental — to screen travelers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan. The expansion comes as a Bundibugyo-strain Ebola outbreak declared a WHO Public Health Emergency of International Concern has produced at least 836 suspected cases and 186 deaths, with experts debating whether airport screening meaningfully reduces domestic risk or diverts resources from source-country containment.
