SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring
an outbreak of respiratory illness caused
by a novel (new) coronavirus first
identified in Wuhan City, Hubei
Province, China. Coronaviruses are a
large family of viruses that are common
in many different species of animals,
including camels, cattle, cats, and bats.
Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect
people and then spread between people
such as with Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The potential for widespread
transmission of this virus by infected
individuals seeking to enter the United
States threatens the security of our
transportation system and
infrastructure, and the national security.
In an abundance of caution and to assist
in preventing the introduction and
spread of this communicable disease in
the United States, DHS, in coordination
with the CDC and other Federal, state
and local agencies charged with
protecting the American public, is
implementing enhanced arrival
protocols to ensure that all travelers
with recent travel from the People’s
Republic of China are provided public
health services. Entry screening is part
of a layered approach used with other
public health measures already in place
to detect arriving travelers who are
exhibiting overt signs of illness,
reporting of ill travelers by air carriers
during travel, and referral of ill travelers
arriving at a U.S. port of entry by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
appropriate public health officials to
slow and prevent the spread of
communicable disease into the United
States.
To ensure that travelers with recent
travel from the People’s Republic of
China are screened, DHS directs that all
flights to the United States carrying
persons who have recently traveled
from, or were otherwise present within,
the People’s Republic of China arrive at
airports where enhanced public health
services and protocols are being
implemented. While DHS anticipates
working with air carriers to identify
potential persons from the affected area
prior to boarding, air carriers shall
comply with the requirements of this
document.

122.32, 49 U.S.C. 114, and 49 CFR
1544.305 and 1546.105, DHS has the
authority to limit the location where all
flights entering the U.S. from abroad
may land. Under this authority and
effective at 5 p.m. EST on Sunday,

This direction considers a person to
have recently traveled from the People’s
Republic of China if that person
departed from, or was otherwise present
within, the People’s Republic of China
(excluding the special autonomous
regions of Hong Kong and Macau)
within 14 days of the date of the
person’s entry or attempted entry into
the United States. Also, for purposes of
this document, crew, and flights
carrying only cargo (i.e., no passengers
or non-crew), are excluded from the
measures herein. This direction is
subject to any changes to the airport
landing destination that may be
required for aircraft and/or airspace
safety as directed by the Federal
Aviation Administration.
This list of affected airports may be
modified by the Secretary of Homeland
Security in consultation with the
