The key is the direct link to the US consular website which is live and updated for US citizens and other countries also. I’ve noticed it already updated in the few days that I have been following it.

I'm also planning a trip to the 'Stans, Pamir highway and Iran, leaving end of April till beginning of October.
I feel at this moment it's better to skip Iran.

See this discussion on another forum that focuses on Central Asia travel:
Corona virus border closures
It's a long discussion, and I don't know if the original poster is updating the very first post (that appears to be the case, but I can't be sure). But the participants in that discussion are mostly on-site in Central Asia, so I think the information you will find there is credible.

All of this doesn't sound good to all of us planning to hit Eurasia/Central Asia soon or for those who are stuck there
I'm on a French passport and I am also headed that way. Currently in Poland.
I can't find relevant information about what measures the Russians ( and Belarusians ) may have taken to monitor the situation apart from the border closures with China.
Does anyone know ?
Cheers,
Levelo.

Hi Levelo,
Russians seem quite relaxed after what I´ve read here: https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/int...1580226297.htm

In Osh south Kyrgyzstan live is as normal as it gets. KG Gov did a new banning on 12 countries just recently for a period of time but this is more ore less focused on fly in passenger which may come directly from the related countries.

The problem for KG businesses like yours is that lots of western countries are locking their citizens down, airlines won't fly virtually empty aeroplanes and (at the moment) Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have closed their land- and air-borders to citizens of many countries (even if they haven't been in their home country for a year or more).
I hope things calm down soon for your and everybody else's sake.
(We had a coffee together in Osh last August when I visited your place).

Russia Covid-19
Hi
Could anybody help with advise for this situation.
I had left my New Zealand registered vehicle in storage in Russia in October 2019 to travel back to NZ and was planning to fly back to Russia in May 2020 to collect my Lancruiser and cross out of Russia back into the EU Obviously with the disruption to flights I’m not sure when it will be possible to fly back to Russia.
What is longest period could I leave the vehicle in Russia for before I start running into issues with Russian Customs when I get to depart Russia again.
I’m sure there are other travelers with a similar issue?
Keep Safe
