In order to help prevent the spread of travel-related cases of coronavirus in the United States, as of March 16, 2020, passengers arriving in the United States by air from all restricted countries are required to travel through the following 13 airports:
• Boston-Logan International Airport (BOS), Massachusetts;
• Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Illinois;
• Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Texas;
• Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), Michigan;
• Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), Hawaii;
• Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Georgia;
• John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York;
• Los Angeles International Airport, (LAX), California;
• Miami International Airport (MIA), Florida;
• Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), New Jersey;
• San Francisco International Airport (SFO), California;
• Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Washington; and
• Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD), Virginia.
Upon arrival and after passing through immigration, passengers will continue to enhanced entry screening where they will be queried about their medical history, current condition, and asked for contact information to be passed on to local health authorities. In some cases, entry screening may include thermal temperature checks; however, passengers are not currently being tested for COVID-19 at U.S. points of entry. Following such screening, passengers will then be given written guidance about COVID-19 and directed to their destination. In accordance with Centers for Disease Prevention & Control (CDC) guidance, all passengers will be asked to immediately home-quarantine for 14 days upon reaching their final destination.
The procedures detailed above apply to all arriving passengers from restricted countries, including but not limited to foreign mission members. The CDC guidance for self-quarantine applies more broadly to all arriving international passengers at all U.S. points of entry.
