    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    On December 6, 2024, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the termination of arrival restrictions for flights carrying people who recently traveled from Rwanda to the United States. These restrictions were initially set due to an outbreak of Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) in Rwanda. The restrictions required such flights to land at specific U.S. airports with enhanced public health measures. The decision to end these restrictions was made because there have been no new MVD cases or transmission chains in Rwanda since the end of October 2024.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government decided that people flying from Rwanda don't have to land at special U.S. airports anymore because the scary virus there is now gone. They made this choice because the virus hasn't been a problem since the end of October 2024.
