The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention downgraded travel health alerts on several countries amid increased vaccination rates
A country is rated based on how many cases were reported in the past 28 days per 100,000 population. A "Level 4" is more than 500 cases; "Level 3" is 100 to 500 cases; "Level 2 Moderate" has 50 to 99 and "Level 1 Low" has fewer than 50, the guidance says. Still at "Level 4," are Argentina, North Korea, Costa Rica, Chile, Cuba and Jamaica among others. India, which has had trouble with their vaccine rollout and a recent surge in coronavirus cases, is ranked at "Level 4" by the CDC. "Because of the current situation in India, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants."More Related News
