The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) issued a travel warning for Belgium, recommending extreme caution while traveling to that country.

On November 21, the government of Belgium ordered the highest alert level in the country for terrorist attacks, with special attention in Brussels, and the SRE recommended all Mexicans living or traveling to that country to report to the consular system.

It also recommended getting travel insurance to deal with possible eventualities.

The SRE also pointed out that it is preferable to avoid crowded places, such as concerts or shopping centers, and to minimize the use of public transportation, avoiding subway and train stations, during the alert.
