An Air France flight (AF378) from Paris to Detroit was diverted to Montreal due to a passenger from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who was subject to U.S. entry restrictions related to Ebola concerns. The flight, carrying 312 passengers, was not allowed to land in the U.S. following a recent CDC emergency order that restricts entry for non-U.S. nationals who have traveled to the DRC, South Sudan, or Uganda. U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed the diversion, emphasizing steps to mitigate public health risks. The situation is compounded by worries over the Ebola outbreak, particularly after an American doctor treating patients in Congo tested positive. Air France does not operate direct flights to the restricted countries but connects through the Republic of Congo.
