First, we’re seeing a spike in the number of scams right now trying to exploit our fears over this disease. Everything from bogus charities to people claiming to have vaccinations for sale. Friends, let’s be extra vigilant right now and on guard for this type of nonsense. Also, please spend a few minutes talking with friends or family members who might be more susceptible to scams.
And second, various news outlets are reporting that the U.S. State Department is expected to raise its worldwide travel advisory to what’s known as “Level 4: Do Not Travel.” This is the highest warning to U.S. citizens and strongly advises Americans to not travel outside the country.
I cannot stress this enough: if for ANY reason international travel is in your plans over the next few months, it is CRITICAL that you pay attention to the State Department’s travel advisories. If you have any questions about this, don’t hesitate to reach out to my Rock Hill office at (803) 327-1114.
