Cabo Safe From Mainland Travel Alerts, Experts Say

Amid viral chatter about a mainland travel alert, Cabo Sun says Los Cabos remains safe and is not affected by the US Embassy warning, which explicitly omits Baja California Sur where Cabo San Lucas is located. Live safety data show a high Traveler Safety Index for the area (around 93), while disruptions are concentrated in mainland hubs like Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta, and Guadalajara. Travelers should monitor airline status for potential delays, but a Cabo trip can proceed with normal resort and beach activity.

Jersey monitors Nipah outbreak in India as travellers advised to seek medical care

Jersey’s health authorities say they are closely watching India's Nipah outbreak, where two lab-confirmed cases have been reported in West Bengal. The WHO classifies Nipah as a top-priority disease due to its epidemic potential and lack of a vaccine. There is no evidence of transmission beyond India and no cases reported in the UK, with the travel risk deemed very low if precautions are followed. Travellers returning with symptoms should seek medical advice and mention recent travel; authorities are coordinating with international partners and monitoring cross-border activity.
