I'm still registered in the Smart Traveler Enrolment Program (STEP) with the U.S. State Department so they know that I've living in Brno. Yesterday the U.S. State Department sent me a travel warning for the Czech Republic. Basically that due to COVID-19 the government thinks that I should reconsider travel to Czechland.
The rub is that I think the COVID-19 situation is better here than it is in the USA right now. In addition I don't need the government to book me on a repatriation flight and have my passport cancelled until the bill is sorted.
What annoyed me was that the the webpage of the U.S. Embassy in Prague hasn't been updated since 7 April 2020.
I shared on Instagram that the webpage was out of date.
Obdržel jsem cestovní varování COVID-19 pro Česko. Velvyslanectví Prahy webovou stránku neaktualizovalo od 7.4. Yesterday I received a #covid19 @statedept travel warning for #czechrepublic but the @usembassyprague hasn't updated it's webpage since 7 April. 😷🇺🇸🇨🇿🇪🇺
The Embassy did respond to me with the following: "Yes, this is a page from April 7. You can see all updates of this page here: https://cz.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/security-and-travel-information/ "
While this link is updated, I don't understand what's the point of still having out of date information online? I asked them this and showed that this link is still valid. https://cz.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/
Let's see what the reply will be.
Update: December 2020, the Embassy never responded back. One page on the embassy website is up to date. But the outdated 7 April page is still up and online.
