U.S. Updates Seychelles Travel Advisory

The U.S. Department of State updated its Seychelles travel advisory, keeping the overall Level 1 'Exercise Normal Precautions' but adding Praslin, La Digue and the outer islands as Level 2 'Exercise Increased Caution' due to health risks. These smaller islands lack medical infrastructure to treat common traumas or illnesses, and patients must travel to Mahé by boat or plane for care. The United States has no consular presence in Seychelles; emergency help is handled by the embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius.
