The CDC Drops All Country Specific COVID-19 Travel Advisories
byDaniel McCarthy/Effective immediately, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will no longer issue country-specific COVID-19 travel advisories.
The CDC announced the change on Monday, explaining that as fewer and fewer countries report infection data, the CDC can no longer accurately assess the COVID-19 situation in those destinations. The CDC said it will only now post a health notice under special circumstances, such as a “concerning COVID-19 variant.”
The change is yet another marker in the travel industry’s ascent out of COVID-19.
疾病预防控制中心(CDC到4级警告,建议旅客“不要旅行”到该目的地。
That system was then changed in Aprilwhen the CDC announced it would drop most of the countries in its “Do Not Travel” list, and no longer warn Americans to not travel to certain destinations because of COVID-19. The CDC was still tracking COVID-19 infection numbers at destinations, advising travelers to mask, test, ensure they were vaccinated, or take certain precautions when traveling.
At one point earlier this year, prior to the change, the “Do Not Travel” list included countries such as Canada, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, the U.K., and more of the most popular international travel destinations for Americans.
Currently,the CDC’s travel website includes有关如果您应该在国际,国内或游轮上旅行时应测试正面或发展症状的信息。
