OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Patriot Travel
wishes for all travelers to experience the most incredible
adventures, and reminds those vacationing oversees to make sure
they always consult the U.S. Department of State — Bureau of
Consular Affairs' updated list of Travel Alerts and Warnings before
finalizing any international travel plans. So far in 2020, several
Level 3 and Level 4 advisories have already been issued.
The first serious advisory of 2020, a Level 3, was issued
January 2nd for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Reports of
continued crime, civil unrest, and terrorism throughout the region
are to be expected, as well as new risks of Ebola
contamination.
Once again Iraq has renewed its
Level 4 advisory as of January 11th.
All travelers are warned to avoid entering into the country at all
costs in order to avoid the likelihood of falling victim to
kidnapping, armed conflict, and/or a terrorist-related event.
January 21st, a Level 3 advisory
was issued for Burundi. While
crime and political violence are to be expected, and are the
primary sources of danger for travelers, the CDC has also issued a
travel notice warning tourists of the increased risk of contracting
malaria.
Pakistan is a unique case,
earning a Level 3 advisory on January
31st with additional, more serious, recommendations to not
travel to specific areas within the country. Although the entirety
of the country imposes certain risks, the Balochistan province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK)
province, and "the immediate vicinity of the Line of Control"
should all be avoided at all cost due to extreme risks of terrorism
and kidnapping.
The most recent travel advisory is for China. Unsurprisingly, on February 2nd an official "Level 4: Do Not Travel"
advisory was issued due to the "rapidly spreading" coronavirus. No
U.S. citizens should enter into China for any reason until these advisories
have been lifted.
