Where the US residents should not travel due to the coronavirus

The US State Department gives some piece of advice to US travelers in order to be careful when visiting specific places due to the coronavirus. In some cases, the US State Department just provides exercising normal precautions while in some other cases urges US residents not to travel to those places. Let’ see which countries are on the State Department’s list of travel warnings because of the uncontrolled spread of the new coronavirus.

1. China
   The State Department says that US residents should not travel to China. In addition, those currently in China should try to depart by commercial means. The State Department also says that U.S. citizens remaining in China should follow the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Chinese health authorities’ guidance for prevention, signs, and symptoms, and treatment.

   

2. Iran
   The US residents are also advised not to travel to Iran. Those currently in Iran should exercise «increased caution due to an outbreak of COVID-19». Because the U.S. government does not have diplomatic or consular relations with Iran, Washington is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in the country, according to the State Department.

   

3. Italy
   The U.S. travelers should reconsider traveling to Italy altogether, and not visit the Lombardy and Veneto regions «due to the level of community transmission of the virus and imposition of local quarantine procedures». Among the State Department’s recommendations are to have a plan to leave Italy that does not rely on U.S. government assistance.

   

4. Mongolia
   While no COVID-19 cases have been found in Mongolia, the country’s health system is taxed by normal seasonal illnesses. «Hospital capacity in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, continues to decrease, and travel restrictions may impede those people seeking medical evacuation», the State Department says.

   

5. South Korea
   U.S. travelers should reconsider traveling to South Korea and not travel to the city of Daegu. Additionally, the U.S. government warns that a person suspected to have COVID-19 (coronavirus) in South Korea may face travel delays, quarantine, and extremely expensive medical costs.
