The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered a new health form for passengers flying from Brazil to the United States, effective November 3, 2026. This form requires travelers to attest that they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo within 21 days before boarding. The rule applies to departures from major cities including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Brasília.
