The U.S. State Department temporary stopped issuing passports to the U.S. citizens due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with narrow exceptions for people who have a “qualified life-or-death emergency.”
In a statement published March 27, 2020, the State Department advised Americans to avoid all international travel due to the spread of COVID-19, unless someone is experiencing an emergency and needs to travel within 72 hours.
Situations that qualify as “life-or-death emergencies” include serious illnesses, injuries or deaths among members of a person’s immediate family that requires travel outside of the U.S., according to the statement.
Briefly in Russian:
Выдача американских паспортов приостановлена из-за коронавируса. Только в исключительных обстоятельствах паспорт может быть выдан.
