Overview

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has added 16 countries to its list of destinations to avoid due to COVID-19.

What are the changes?

Based on CDC travel guidelines, locations that have had more than 500 cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents in the past 28 days are considered to be high-risk areas for COVID-19 transmission.

According to its health guidelines, the CDC has designated the following locations as a Level 4 risk due to COVID-19: Andorra, Curaçao, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Iran, Ireland, Isle of Man, Kazakhstan, Lesotho, Libya, Malta, Martinique, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, and US Virgin Islands. A Level 4 risk designation is advisory only and is not a travel ban.

Looking Ahead

The latest guidance from the CDC follows existing COVID-19 travel bans that are still in effect, including ongoing North American border closures and travel bans to Brazil, India, Ireland, the UK, and countries in Europe.
