US Upgrades Travel Warning For China to ‘Do Not Travel’

The U.S. State Department has upgraded its travel advisory for China from level 3, “reconsider travel,” to the highest level, “Level 4: Do not travel.”

“Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice,” it said. “Commercial carriers have reduced or suspended routes to and from China.”
