US ne 22 May 2026 ko temporary entry ban laga diya hai lawful permanent residents—jo ki green card holders kehte hain—par, agar woh pichle 21 din mein Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, ya South Sudan mein gaye hain. Ye restriction isliye lagayi gayi hai kyunki Bundibugyo strain ka Ebola fail raha hai. CDC ne kaha hai ki jab tak ye virus control mein nahi aata, tab tak green card holders ko bhi is bandi mein shaamil karna zaroori hai, chahe unko pehle Title 42 ke under COVID-19 ke time exemption mila ho.
CDC ne 22 May ko statement jari kiya, jisme kaha gaya ki green card holders par ye restriction limited time ke liye lagayi ja rahi hai taaki public health ko protect kiya ja sake aur emergency resources bhi manage ho saken. Ye ek bada change hai kyunki pehle green card holders ko aise restrictions se exemption milta tha, chahe woh COVID-19 ke time Title 42 ke under ho ya phir Trump ke travel bans.
CDC ne ye order 18 May 2026 ko Title 42 ke under jari kiya tha, jo federal health authorities ko contagious diseases ke spread ko rokne ke liye entry ban lagaane ki power deta hai. Ye authority COVID-19 ke time bhi use ki gayi thi. Lekin ab green card holders ko bhi is bandi mein shaamil karna is Ebola outbreak ke badhte khatre ko dekh kar kiya ja raha hai.
WHO ne 22 May ko DRC mein Bundibugyo Ebola strain ke national outbreak banne ke risk ko "very high" level par rakha hai. Saath hi, WHO ne DRC aur Uganda ke Ebola outbreaks ko Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) bhi declare kar diya hai. Ye declaration is baat ki taraf indicate kar rahi hai ki situation kitni serious hai aur agar isko control nahi kiya gaya toh international spread ho sakta hai.
CDC ka ye decision mixed reactions la raha hai. Public health experts ka kehna hai ki ye ek zaroori precaution hai taaki virus US mein na aaye, lekin kuch immigration advocates ko ye concern hai ki isse permanent residents par effect padega. Temporary nature ki wajah se ye ban hata bhi sakta hai jab Ebola ka khatra control mein aa jaye.
CDC ka ye decision global public health threats aur countries ke liye challenges ko bhi highlight kar raha hai—ki kaise citizens ko protect kiya ja sake aur non-citizens ke rights bhi maintain rahein. Green card holders ko bhi is bandi mein shaamil karna is baat ka signal hai ki infectious diseases ke spread ko rokne ke liye US ka approach aur strict ho raha hai.
Jab tak situation badalti rahegi, US aur international health authorities DRC, Uganda aur South Sudan ke Ebola outbreaks par closely monitor kar rahe hain. In regions mein rehne walon aur travelers ko health guidelines follow karne ki advice di gayi hai taaki infection ka khatra kam ho aur virus ka spread roka ja sake.
