The Department of State is making arrangements to relocate its personnel stationed at the U.S. Consulate General in Wuhan to the United States. We anticipate that there will be limited capacity to transport private U.S. citizens on a reimbursable basis on a single flight leaving Wuhan Tianhe International Airport on January 28, 2020 and proceeding directly to San Francisco. Interested U.S. citizens in possession of valid passports should contact BeijingACS@state.gov with the information listed below. This capacity is extremely limited and if there is insufficient ability to transport everyone who expresses interest, priority will be given to individuals at greater risk from coronavirus.

Chinese Visa Information:
Travelers and residents should be aware that the Chinese government could prevent them from entering or exiting parts of Chinese provinces. Travelers and residents should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice.
The health and safety of U.S. citizens is a top priority for the U.S. Government. Due to the novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan and logistical disruptions stemming from restricted transportation and overwhelmed hospitals in the city of Wuhan, we are actively taking measures to ensure the safety of all involved.
To receive the most up-to-date travel advisories and information, we strongly encourage U.S. citizens, whenever they travel abroad, to enroll their travel plans onwww.travel.state.gov using the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (https://step.state.gov/). The Department of State has upgraded our Travel Advisory for Hubei Province in China to Level 4: Do Not Travel due to novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/China.html
