The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States said on Monday that they had withdrawn their “do not travel” recommendations to about 90 international destinations.
Last week, the CDC said it was reviewing its travel advisories, announcing that it would reserve level 4 health warnings “for special circumstances, such as a rapidly escalating case trajectory or extremely high case counts.”
Countries and other regions that have been downgraded to “Tier 3: High,” which continues to advise against travel by unvaccinated Americans, include the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Turkey, Australia, Greece, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea South, Spain and Russia.
Levels are also being lowered for Chile, Uruguay, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Central African Republic, Czech Republic, Jordan, Lebanon, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Poland, Somalia and Vietnam.
The CDC does not currently include no country in “Tier 4”.
The US State Department said last week that it was also drastically reducing “do not travel” advisories to international destinations.
