The Civil Aviation Affairs (CAA) announced the suspension of entry for non-Bahraini travellers arriving in the Kingdom of Bahrain from South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Uganda on all flights from Tuesday, May 19. The decision follows updates issued by the World Health Organisation regarding the Ebola outbreak and the worsening situation in those countries.
The CAA stated that entry procedures at Bahrain International Airport had been updated for travellers arriving from the affected countries. Entry will be suspended for passengers arriving directly from those countries, as well as those who have been there within the 30 days prior to arrival in the Kingdom. Bahraini citizens arriving from those countries will be subject to approved health protocols upon arrival
