Warden Message – Swine Influenza (April 27, 2009)
U.S. citizens in the Russian Federation should be aware that the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are monitoring
an ongoing outbreak of swine influenza A (H1N1). As of April 27, there have been no reported
cases in
Russia.
The Embassy is aware that the Russian Federal Consumer Protection Service has
issued an order to “ensure control” of the health of passengers arriving from the United States
or Mexico, ordering that passengers be screened for signs of infectious disease. We do
not know when or how this order will be implemented.
For more information, please consult the Department of State’s Swine Flu Outbreak Information at http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/pa/pa_pandemic.html.
For the latest security information, Americans living and traveling abroad
should regularly monitor the Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs website at http://travel.state.gov,
where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Alerts, Travel Warnings, and health-information
resources
can be found. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling
1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S. and Canada or, for callers in other areas by calling
a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern
Time,
Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
In case of an after-hours emergency, please contact the Embassy or nearest Consulate General as soon as possible. U.S. citizens may also wish to review safety information on the Embassy website, http://moscow.usembassy.gov.
