    The Secretary presents his compliments to their Excellencies and Messieurs

    and Mesdames the Chiefs of Mission and wishes to bring to their attention recent

    developments concerning the U.S. Government’s response to the novel coronavirus

    (“2019-nCoV”) outbreak.

    The U.S. Government is implementing measures aimed at responding to and

    containing 2019-nCoV. The safety of members of the foreign mission community,

    who are in frequent contact with persons coming from all parts of the world, is

    very important to the Department. As a result, the Department seeks to ensure that

    foreign missions, international organizations, and their members in the

    United States are aware of these efforts and the coordinated resources used to

    counter the threat of 2019-nCoV.

    On January 31, 2020, the President signed the Proclamation on Suspension

    of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons who Pose a Risk of

    Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus. By order of the Proclamation, starting at

    5:00p.m. February 2, 2020, entry into the United States has been suspended for

    individuals who have been physically present within the People’s Republic of
    China, excluding the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau,

    during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry. This

    Proclamation exempts certain groups from the suspension of entry. Notably, the

    entry suspension is not applicable to individual foreign mission members seeking

    entry into or who are transiting the United States on A-1, A-2, C-2, C-3 (as a

    foreign government official or immediate family member of an official), G-1, G-2,

    G-3, G-4, NATO-1 through NATO-4, or NATO-6 visas. However, even with

    respect to exempted individuals such as the visa holders listed above, such

    individuals may be medically screened, and where appropriate quarantined for up

    to a 14-day period to prevent the spread of the virus.

    Given the serious public health risk posed by the 2019-nCoV, the

    Department expects all foreign mission members and foreign government officials

    identified as requiring medical screening and/or quarantine at ports of entry to

    submit to the screening and/or quarantine. The Department’s Office of Foreign

    Missions (OFM) is working with Customs and Border Protection as well as the

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ensure that OFM will be notified of

    such individuals being admitted pursuant to the exemption in the President’s

    Proclamation who are in need of medical screening and/or quarantine. OFM will

    seek to notify the affected individual’s mission and or employing organization and

    seek a waiver of personal inviolability where appropriate.


    Mission members who have been physically present within the People’s

    Republic of China, excluding the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong

    and Macau, during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into

    the United States who are not prepared to comply with these procedures should

    abstain from traveling to the United States at this time.

    Foreign missions may contact OFM concerning this matter by telephone at

    (202) 647-3417 or by electronic mail at OFM-EmergencyMgt@state.gov.

    Department of State,

    Washington, February 3, 2020.
