Effective May 25, 2026, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has put in place mandatory health screenings targeting Ebola for certain arriving passengers. This initiative is part of broader efforts to curb the potential spread of the virus in response to ongoing health concerns in affected regions.

Those travelers arriving from countries where Ebola outbreaks have been reported will be subject to these screenings upon entry at the airport. The measure aims to supplement the existing health protocols to reduce transmission risks. While specifics about which traveler groups are screened or the screening process details have not been disclosed, passengers should be

prepared for possible additional processing time.
