The Democratic Republic of Congo’s national football team has arrived in the United States to participate in the World Cup, following a mandatory quarantine period. US authorities required the team to complete a 21-day observation period to ensure no risk of Ebola transmission. The team fulfilled this requirement by quarantining in Paris, France, before being permitted to travel to the US. This precaution was taken due to a recent Ebola outbreak in the DRC. The team’s arrival allows them to begin preparations for their World Cup matches. Health officials confirmed the team posed no public health risk prior to their departure for the US. The quarantine aimed to protect the American public while allowing the DRC to compete in the international tournament.
