With mixed messages in the media, it can be difficult to determine if you should travel internationally during the outbreak. The U.S. State Department has issued varying levels of travel warnings for countries where there are current cases of the virus. If you have any concerns about upcoming travel plans, consult with The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC for travel recommendations in areas that have been affected.
