As confirmed cases of COVID-19 continue to grow around the world, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) remain the best resources for information about the pandemic.  They provide information for individuals with higher risk of severe illness including older adults and individuals with underlying health conditions.  Their website also provides guidance on using cloth face coverings to help prevent further spread of the disease.  If you are in Nigeria and are running out of a critical prescription medication, please note many pharmacies remain open at this time.

The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos is working to confirm additional evacuation flight(s) within the next 1-2 weeks. If you are interested in returning to the United States and have not done so yet, please have EACH traveler in your party submit the electronic form.
