Maybe you can hire a coyote to get you across...

What recourse do we have if a government literally and legally won't permit entry? I know most travel insurance doesn't cover a disinclination to travel due to epidemic or pandemic; however, in this case, I physically am being barred from entry. Thoughts?
Id contact the airline and advocate for a cancellation with full refund, because you don’t seem to have any recourse in this instance if the DUN order goes through today or tomorrow. The problem is an airline might look at the act as something beyond their control, force majeure. Same with insurance. How do they deal with for e majeure issues?Good luck.
