WASHINGTON, April 14 ― The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said yesterday it will revise its Covid-19 travel recommendations for international destinations and shrink the number of countries the government recommends avoiding.
“This new system will reserve Level 4 travel health notices for special circumstances, such as rapidly escalating case trajectory or extremely high case counts,” the CDC said in a statement, adding that it will be effective Monday. The letter added that the “CDC should ensure that Americans are not dissuaded from travelling to any place with Covid-19 case rates that are equal to, or less than, the case rates prevailing in the US.”
