The worst outbreak of coronavirus in Europe has spurred the U.S. government to issue the highest level of warning Sunday to the two Italian regions hardest hit by the virus.
The State Department updated its travel advisory to its highest level — Level 4 — urging Americans, “Do Not Travel” to the Lombard and Veneto regions in northern Italy.
The travel advisory cited quarantines set up in 10 Lombard towns and one in Veneto, with a combined population of 50,000 people, as well as “the level of community transmission of the virus”
Sunday’s message comes after an earlier warning to avoid non-essential travel to all of Italy, where more than 1,694 cases were confirmed through Sunday — a 50 percent jump from just 24 hours earlier.
“Reconsider travel to Italy due to a recent outbreak of COVID-19,” the earlier advisory stated. “There is an ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 caused by a novel (new) coronavirus in Italy. Many cases of COVID-19 have been associated with travel to or from mainland China or close contact with a travel-related case, but sustained community spread has been reported in Italy.”
Five more people infected with the virus have died, bringing the deaths in Italy to 34, while 83 have fully recovered.
