We would suggest reaching out to the nearest consulate or embassy for guidance to advise regarding your travel plans. Additionally, re-entry to the US will be at the discretion of the CBP officer. Due to the evolving situation with COVID-19, we would also recommend that you contact your airline regarding travel advisories/restrictions, in addition to keeping up to date with the most recent information posted on the Travel.State.Gov website.
