The U.S. Department of State urged Americans to consider not traveling to China amid the outbreak of the potentially deadly coronavirus.
The Monday afternoon alert advises Americans to “reconsider travel to China due to novel coronavirus” and raised its travel advisory to three out of four. A level-four State Department warning calls on people to not travel at all to a country—usually reserved for countries in the midst of war or insecurity, such as Afghanistan, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and Yemen.
