The United States State Department on Monday issued a warning for American citizens to reconsider travel to Armenia due to the increase in cases of the Covid-19.
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 3 Travel Health Notice for Armenia due to COVID-19, indicating a high level of COVID-19 in the country,” said the State Department.
The State Department also urged U.S. citizens not to travel to the Nagorno-Karabakh region due to armed conflict.
“The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Nagorno-Karabakh as U.S. government employees are restricted from traveling there,” the State Department added.
Most travelers to Armenia are Armenians visiting family and friends some volunteers, benefactors and medical advisors or volunteer surgeons. Instead of discouraging the above-mentioned travelers of flying to Armenia, we should encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated and make sure they are healthy to travel also encourage the people in Armenia to get vaccinated when it is available and refrain from unnecessary gatherings, avoid crowds, wear masks, keep distance and follow all safety guidelines. Let’s try to educate each other and our family and friends in Armenia.
