An April 11th announcement stated that the U.S. State Department had ordered Shanghai-based non-emergency personnel and their relatives to flee as Covid surges were forming. The State Department also asked Americans to reconsider traveling to China.
The State Department advised that travelers to China’s People’s Republic of China should reconsider their plans to travel there due to inconsistent enforcement of COVID-19-related laws.
According to the statement, “Do NOT travel to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), Jilin provincial or Shanghai municipality of the PRC due to COVID-19 restrictions. This includes the risk that parents and their children could be separated.” Travel to Hong Kong SAR in the PRC is not recommended due to inconsistent enforcement of local laws.
