The State Department announced Monday it plans to update its travel advisories this week to "better reflect" travel health notices from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"This does not imply a reassessment of the current health situation in a given country, but rather reflects an adjustment in the State Department's Travel Advisory system to rely more on CDC's existing epidemiological assessments," the department wrote. Officials said they will "closely monitor conditions" and provides updates as the situation evolves. Public health officials continue to urge against non-essential travel amid the pandemic as highly transmissible variants continue to circulate.More Related News
