Kennedy International Airport beginning after 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time on May 28, 2026. The agency operates its Port Health Protection system around the clock at U.S. ports of entry to conduct these screenings and other public health activities.
Ebola is already in place at Washington Dulles International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport. JFK previously conducted similar screening and maintains established procedures for the process.
Public health entry screening forms one part of a layered approach that also includes overseas exit screening, airline illness reporting, and post-arrival monitoring.
