The United States is urging Americans to not travel to certain regions in Italy and South Korea due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Vice President Mike Pence raised the travel advisory for Lombardy and Veneto in Italy to “Level 4: do not travel”—the highest level—during a press conference on Saturday. This comes after the European country confirmed 21 deaths and almost 900 cases of the virus.
