On April 3, President Ali Bongo Ondimba announced during a televised address that the Gabonese government will be introducing confinement measures in greater Libreville (including Libreville, Akanda, and Owendo) in the coming days. The Embassy recommends that U.S. citizens prepare by ensuring that they have sufficient food, medicine, and supplies should they need to remain at home for an extended period of time.
On March 14, the Department of State authorized the departure from any diplomatic or consular post in the world of U.S. personnel and family members who have been medically determined to be at higher risk of a poor outcome if exposed to COVID-19.
Effective March 16, U.S. Embassy Libreville has suspended routine consular services. For emergency American citizen services, including emergency passports, please visit our website for additional information. The Embassy is at reduced staffing and consular operations are similarly reduced.
