FCDO advise against travel

Alert categories are based on the situation at the time of publication. They will not be routinely updated unless outbreak information or a news item is updated.

The categories do not replace Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice. Travellers should still check the FCDO travel advisories for any country-specific security or safety alerts.
