The Marburg Virus, a deadly hemorrhagic fever, has prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to implement rigorous safety measures. Travelers from Rwanda, where a significant outbreak has occurred, are being screened at three major U.S. international airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York, Chicago O’Hare (ORD), and Washington-Dulles (IAD). This proactive approach is part of a Level 3 travel advisory issued on October 16, 2024.
