If you travel to Guinea, Liberia, or Sierra Leone, you will likely be subject to quarantine restrictions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), and local health department for up to 21 days upon your return to the United States. The situation in Mali is still changing and may also result in similar restrictions. 

Air travel from these countries is restricted. Generally you will be required to land at one of five selected U.S. airports. At the airport, you will be screened by the CDC and/or the NYSDOH for your health status and your activities during travel. CDC/NYSDOH may impose restrictions on your movement or activities (e.g., quarantine at home or at a controlled location, self-monitoring for symptoms or monitoring under close observation of a health department official, prohibition from certain modes of public transportation, etc). If you are returning to a New York State location, your restrictions will be enforced by the local health department.

For more information on travel restrictions, please see the CDC and the New York State Department of Health (PDF) websites.
