US warns against travel to Sri Lanka

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned against travel to Sri Lanka because of the rising number of COVID-19 cases, the Reuters news agency reported today.

CDC has also warned against the travel to Jamaica and Brunei for the same reason.

The CDC also eased its ratings for the Netherlands, Malta, Guinea-Bissau and United Arab Emirates from “Level 4: Very High” to “Level 3: High.”

The CDC also raised Australia from “Leve1 1: Low” to “Level 2: Moderate.”

In addition, the CDC raised its advisory level for Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Ghana, Grenada, Turks and Caicos Islands to “Level 3.”

The CDC issues travel recommendations by countries and for US territories but does not list recommendations for individual US states. It currently lists about 80 destinations out of around 200 ranked as “Level 4,” including some US territories.
