The United States, Mexico and Canada announce coordinated public health travel measures for people traveling to the 2026 FIFA World Cup from parts of Africa considered at higher risk for Ebola. The measures are announced ahead of the tournament, which begins in June and is hosted by the three countries. The decision follows the World Health Organization’s declaration of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo as a public health emergency of international concern. Under the aligned approach, the countries set restrictions and entry-related steps for travelers arriving from high-risk areas, with the stated goal of protecting citizens and visitors, including fans, athletes and tourists attending the weeks-long event. CBC and The Globe and Mail report that Canada bans residents from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan from entering Canada for 90 days, with the restriction starting the previous Wednesday. Other outlets describe similar coordination among the three host nations, emphasizing that the policies are designed to reduce potential Ebola exposure while the World Cup takes place.
