(1) Stay informed of the latest safety information through local reports and practice safe behavior.
(2) Avoid approaching areas where marches or gatherings are taking place.
(3) If you encounter a march or protest while traveling, promptly leave the area.
(4) Avoid areas that are likely to be targets of attacks (such as religious sites, locations of religious events, government institutions, security authorities’ facilities including vehicles and checkpoints, and media organizations).
4. Depending on the region, there may be restrictions on mobile phone services, so please ensure you have alternative means of communication (such as landlines and the internet).
