State Dept. Advisory - Do not travel.

[QueenOfBlades 224]

As an update, just saw this. This applies even to citizens, so I would certainly not recommend it for anyone. If you are planning any international trips, you might want to call it off unless you’re ready to be there indefinitely.

“The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19.  In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period.  U.S. citizens who live abroad should avoid all international travel.”

 

”Many countries are experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks and implementing travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines, closing borders, and prohibiting non-citizens from entry with little advance notice.  Airlines have cancelled many international flights and several cruise operators have suspended operations or cancelled trips.  If you choose to travel internationally, your travel plans may be severely disrupted, and you may be forced to remain outside of the United States for an indefinite timeframe.”

 

So basically, you might end up stranded overseas indefinitely and consular officers are being allowed home so you might not have access to an embassy for assistance. 

DO. NOT. TRAVEL.
