You should avoid public places where crowds gather, including religious gatherings and insecure public spaces like markets and transport hubs. In recent years, attacks have taken place around religious and public holidays in public or crowded places, including places of worship. You should be particularly vigilant during these periods. Avoid affected areas in the immediate aftermath of any attack.
A heavy security presence often indicates areas of particularly high risk.
