印度新冠病例激增之際，美國國務院敦促美國公民離開印度，并發布了最高級別的旅行警示。
"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 4 Travel Health Notice and the Department of State has issued a Level 4 Travel Advisory advising against all travel to India," the State Department said in a statement. "Level 4 is the highest advisory level due to greater likelihood of life-threatening risks."

The statement continued, "The Department of State advises that U.S. citizens not travel to the country or to leave as soon as it is safe to do so. The Department of State provides additional advice for travelers in these areas in the Travel Advisory."
聲明中還說道，“國務院建議美國公民不要前往美國，或者在安全的情況下盡快離開印度。國務院在《旅游警示》中為在印度地區的旅客提供了額外建議。”
A State Department spokesperson told Newsweek that the agency has also approved the voluntary departure of individuals at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and its consulates. The spokesperson noted that while the voluntary departure is approved, personnel are not required to leave, as the embassy and its consulates remain open.
