Any changes on Transiting Via Europe with K1?

[Malcom_T 33]

This question most likely has been answered somewhere but I've not found one with a recent date besides May. If so please someone redirect me as I may find myself in thesame situation eventually - A friend had his interview yesterday and is scheduled to pick up his visa on Friday. They are looking to purchase a ticket But most flights transit through Europe (Belgium via Brussels, France Via Paris) and I believe the current ban doesn't allow transits in European countries for K visa holders? Is it allowed to transit or would they need to find a way around it (which as I see the only way around would be to travel via Ethopia/Addis Or Turkey) ? Any help is appreciated

Don't transit through Schengen Area, UK, Ireland, mainland China, Brazil, or Iran. https://bf.usembassy.gov/u-s-visa-and-travel-faqs-for-non-u-s-citizens-following-the-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic/ "Please also bear in mind that transiting a country covered by the Presidential Proclamation, even without exiting the airport, counts as physical presence within that country."

Thanks a ton for the information
