According to Rzeczpospolita, the new CDC rules have applied since 3 November (11:59 p.m. US Eastern Time). They cover passengers on all flights to the US, including those changing planes there on their way to another country.
- The passenger confirms that they have not been in the DR Congo, including in transit, during the 21 days before the flight.
- The form of the declaration (paper, electronic, verbal) is determined by the airlines; according to the newspaper, LOT collects it during online check-in or at the check-in desk, while TAP Air Portugal requires a printed and signed form.
- Failure to provide the declaration means denied boarding.
- Day zero is the day of leaving the DR Congo, so the earliest possible flight is on day 22.
Before departure, it is worth checking the procedure of the specific carrier.
