According to the statement, “The U.S. Embassy will offer reduced services until further notice.”
The Embassy, therefore, advised its nationals to avoid all non-essential travel or movement. It also admonished them to stay alert, avoid crowds, even as they were charged to take their personal security seriously and keep their cell phone charged in case of emergency, including carrying proper identification.
