The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 2nd that it will issue a temporary special travel advisory for the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "We ask citizens planning to visit the area to cancel or postpone their trips, and citizens staying in the area to move to a safe location."
With this measure, areas in those countries under level 1 (caution) and level 2 (refrain from travel) advisories will all be raised to a special travel advisory (level 2.5), while areas designated level 3 (advised to leave) will remain unchanged.
A special travel advisory is issued for up to 90 days when there is an urgent, short-term risk. Guidance equivalent to travel advisory level 2 (refrain from travel) or higher and level 3 (advised to leave) or lower is recommended.
