The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has added Sri Lanka, Jamaica, and Brunei under “level 4, highest-risk travel destinations” for travelers.
The CDC recommended people to avoid travel to locations designated with “COVID-19 Very High”, the “level 4” category.
The CDC regularly updates the travel advisories list based on the cases.
The CDC on Tuesday designated the COVID-19 situations as “Level 4: Very High” indicating that they have had more than 500 positive cases per 100,000 residents in the past 28 days.
the CDC encouraged travelers to these locations to ensure they are fully vaccinated and warned that “even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.”
The CDC also raised its travel advisory for Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Ghana, Grenada, and the Turks and Caicos Islands to “Level 3: High” and increased Australia’s designation from “Level 1: Low” to “Level 2: Moderate.”
The CDC uses COVID-19 data reported by the World Health Organization and other official sources to make determinations about Travel Health Notice (THN) levels, the CDC says. If a destination does not provide data, their THN level is designated as “unknown” and travelers are advised to follow THN Level 4 recommendations.
