Global Level 4 Health Advisory – Do Not Travel

The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19. In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period.

At present the Department of State is making every effort to assist U.S. citizens overseas who wish to return to the United States. As the Covid-19 situation develops, our ability to provide such assistance working with commercial airlines or arranging for evacuation flights may become more limited or even unavailable. In recent weeks, commercial airlines have significantly reduced flight schedules and countries have closed airports and borders with little advance notice. If you wish to return to the United States, you should make arrangements to do so now and contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for assistance as needed. There is no guarantee that the Department of State will be able to continue to provide repatriation assistance and transportation options to the United States may be unavailable in the future. If you choose to remain overseas, you should be prepared to remain where you are for the foreseeable future.

If conditions worsen again, new travel restrictions and flight cancellations could be imposed with no notice, leaving you stranded abroad. Do not travel during a global pandemic because you miss your boyfriend.

The UK Government is imposing new restrictions, including a requirement to self isolate for 14 days upon arrival. Those are currently set to take effect on 8 June though. However, there are other restrictions that your plans do not comply with:

You cannot:

visit friends and family inside their homes

stay overnight away from your own home, except for in a limited set of circumstances, such as for work purposes
