The United States, Mexico and Canada on Thursday announced aligned public health travel measures for individuals arriving from African regions at the highest risk from the Ebola virus.

According to a joint statement released by Global Affairs Canada, the coordinated approach aims to protect citizens as well as millions of visitors, fans, athletes and tourists expected to arrive for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026.

The three North American nations said the measures are also designed to maintain travel and commerce across their borders.

Canada banned residents from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan from entering the country for 90 days, a measure that started Wednesday, asking arrivals from these countries to observe a 21-day quarantine.

Mexico's largest airline, Aeromexico, announced on social media Friday that travelers who have been to Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or South Sudan in the past 21 days will be restricted from entering Mexico by air.

Mexico's low-cost carriers Viva Aerobus and Volaris, which operate several international routes, also announced similar restrictions that are in effect for 60 days.

The FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, starting June 11.
