CONTINUED MEDICAL HEALTH ALERT FOR AUSTRIA
The U.S: Consulate in Vienna, on directives from Washington, continues to advise U.S. citizens in Austria to return home as soon as possible. Most Americans who are still here do not want to depart Austria and are sheltering in place here. But it is important to make very clear that now is the time to depart if you do not live here or are intending to stay. It is unknown how long this is all going to last, how long the U.S. Embassy and Consulate will be on reduced operations, how long the airports will stay open. With so many unknowns, it’s necessary to prepare for the fact that everyone must have a support network in place in this country, or should go to where they have one. At the end everyone’s circumstances are different and it’s a personal choice. Anyone who cannot afford to travel may contact the U.S. Consulate in Vienna, which has loans available to help with travel returns to the U.S. These loans are not available from the U.S. Government for people residing abroad to maintain living expense; the only remedy if that is an issue is to return home. Please be advised that evacuation flights are not free. While initially, there is no cost, the costs are later billed to the passengers on the plane. And it becomes a loan from the U.S. Government. Everyone has to board the plane facing an unknown expense. The Consulate has done a couple of repatriations lately, with the total cost to return home under 500 Euro. The later costs to charter a plane will be much higher, and will also depend on the number of passengers who want to actually evacuate. If you are a U.S. citizen in Austria wanting to return to the United States, please contact:
ConsulateVienna@state.gov
The Austrian government has made the following official statement:
Third country nationals (persons who are not citizens of the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom) who cannot leave Austria due to the current situation and who are at risk of staying in Austria beyond the permitted stay, are advised to contact the provincial head office of the federal police directorate. Their contact details can be found under the following link:
Information for those returning to the U.S.:
Upon arrival, travelers will proceed to standard customs processing. They will then continue to enhanced entry screening where the passenger will be asked about their medical history, current condition, and asked for contact information for local health authorities. Passengers will then be given written guidance about COVID-19 and directed to proceed to their final destination, and immediately home-quarantine in accordance with CDC best practices.
2020 is an important voting year in the U.S.
