Location: Cabo Verde
Event: The Government of Cabo Verde has announced the closure of all international travel in and out of Cabo Verde. The U.S. Embassy is exploring all options for U.S. citizens who remain in Cabo Verde.
If you are currently in Sal, TUI (operated by AVS) is flying out charter flights to Europe. The flights are full but TUI said that some passengers may have already made their way home and seats may be available. If you are interested in flying to Europe, you should go to the airport and ask the operator of the flight, AVS, how you can purchase a ticket if seats are available. They will not sell tickets until they have confirmed all ticketed passengers are boarded and there are seats available.
For information on travel restrictions in European countries, please visit the country specific information available on travel.state.gov
