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. U.S. citizens who live abroad should avoid all international travel. Many countries are experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks and implementing travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines, closing borders, and prohibiting non-citizens from entry with little advance notice. Airlines have cancelled many international flights and several cruise operators have suspended operations or cancelled trips. If you choose to travel internationally, your travel plans may be severely disrupted, and you may be forced to remain outside of the United States for an indefinite timeframe.
The new travel plan issued by the United States has been in effect since Friday, March 13th 2020.
There have been a lot of airline policy updates. Email our air team info@montecitovillagetravel.com if you have a change or cancellation question on air.

In order to stay safe while traveling, the CDC recommends to avoid contact with individuals who appear ill and to avoid touching your face. Be sure to wash your hands often, especially prior to eating as well as after coughing and sneezing. It is also recommended to practice social distancing, which involves avoiding groups and maintaining distance from others. If you do fall ill and have a fever, cough or trouble breathing, the CDC recommends to seek medical attention right away and to avoid contact with others to ensure the illness does not spread.
In order to stay safe and healthy during this difficult time, the CDC recommends that everyone follow the appropriate prevention and treatment steps:
According to the CDC there is currently no specific antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19. Therefore, those who have the virus should receive supportive care right away to assist with relieving symptoms. The CDC also recommends that anyone who believes they may have been exposed to the Coronavirus should contact their healthcare provider immediately. The CDC advises that the best prevention is continued preventive behaviors including staying home when ill, trying to cover all coughs and sneezes, frequent hand washing and keeping frequently touched surfaces clean. The CDC also notes that older adults and travelers with underlying health issues should avoid situations that put them at increased risk.
In order to continue to decrease the spread of COVID-19, it is crucial that everyone remain updated on news regarding the virus as well as maintain the proper precautions listed above. The CDC is working 24/7 to not only provide the most updated information regarding the Coronavirus but to also protect the health of everyone.
If you are currently healthy, the CDC recommends that you do not wear a face mask to protect yourself from respiratory diseases. It is, however, highly recommended that those who are currently exhibiting symptoms should be wearing face masks in order to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. It is also vital that those caring for others who are ill such as health workers and individuals looking after those who are showing symptoms wear face masks to prevent further spread of the virus.
It is recommended that if you think you may be showing symptoms of COVID-19 such as a fever or respiratory illness, be sure to contact your doctor immediately. Through staying healthy, eliminating unnecessary germs and eliminating panic, we will weather this storm together. As stated earlier, the World Health Organization has not placed any travel restrictions. Traveling is continuing to decrease in price due to current conditions.
