However, due to the current large-scale influenza outbreak in the United States and the exaggerated attitude towards the new coronavirus epidemic in China, many tourists are asking whether it is safe to travel to the United States now. Is it safe to travel to the United States
On February 24, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a safety reminder for traveling to the United States. Recently, due to the United States’ excessive epidemic prevention measures and the domestic security situation in the United States, Chinese tourists have been treated unfairly in the United States.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism reminds Chinese tourists to increase their awareness of safety precautions and not to travel to the United States.
Large-scale influenza outbreak in the United States
A serious influenza epidemic is occurring in the United States. According to the weekly report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on January 12, from September 29, 2019 to On January 12, 2020, at least 1,300,000 people in the United States were infected with influenza, 120,000 of whom were hospitalized for treatment, and the death toll reached 6,600. However, in the United States, we have not seen everyone wearing masks on the streets, and we have not heard of law enforcement officers dispatching to enforce isolation of sources of infection
Academician Zhong Nanshan said that influenza is now very serious in the United States, involving cases Far more than COVID-19, this kind of influenza is also present in China. Therefore, we must distinguish normal people, influenza patients, and COVID-19 as soon as possible. This is a top priority and must be paid great attention to! How to avoid the danger
First Make travel plans. The most important purpose of planning is to avoid accidents! Travel planning is not about writing down the time and destination in a random way, but about the detailed path from point to point. I strongly recommend that you search online for information on how to get to your destination. Other people’s travel notes. Because only those who have been there will encounter specific difficulties, and only by seeing them can you avoid them or prepare for them in advance.
Secondly, bring less cash and more VISA credit cards. The United States is a credit card society, and you can pay with a credit card almost everywhere. It is enough to have one or two hundred yuan in change in your wallet. On the one hand, it is for emergencies, and on the other hand, it is for others to spend, so prepare a few more one-dollar bills.
Set a daily consumption limit on your credit card to reduce losses from credit card theft.
Thirdly, check the "Crime Map" online in any city you visit. Some neighborhoods are drug dealer neighborhoods or gang neighborhoods. Don't go there in confusion.
