US issues 'do not travel' advisory for China
All your coronavirus travel questions answered
On Thursday, the rapid outbreak of coronavirus
prompted the U.S. State Department to issue a level 4 travel advisory ("Do not travel"
its most severe warning for the entire country of China, one week after it did so for
Hubei Province, where the virus' epicenter, Wuhan, is located.
The move followed the
World Health Organization's decision to declare coronavirus, which Chinese officials say has been diagnosed in 9,800 people and killed 213 , a global health emergency.
In the
State Department's advisory, the agency notes: "Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice," and recommends that those currently in China "consider departing using commercial means."
USA TODAY has pulled together answers to questions travelers may have about traveling during the outbreak.
