Embassy urges US nationals to be vigilant

AMMAN —The US embassy in Amman intends to resume public services as of Monday and is lifting most temporary travel restrictions on US government personnel and their family members, it said in a statement on Sunday. US citizens should remain aware of the possibility of protests, some of which have the potential to become violent.

The US embassy reminds US citizens of the need for caution and awareness of personal security, it said in the statement posted on its website. Review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news for updates.

Maintain a high level of vigilance, take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security and follow instructions from local authorities. Avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.

All temporary restrictions on the movement of US government personnel and their family members (including school attendance) in Amman have been lifted. Official and personal travel outside Amman by US embassy personnel remains prohibited based on the embassy’s resources to support such travel.
