The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States have declared that they will no longer keep a list of coronavirus-related travel restrictions.
Beginning on October 3, officials stated that warnings will only be made for nations that are dealing with a COVID-19 circumstance that would affect the agency's travel guide.
"As fewer countries are testing or reporting COVID-19 cases, the CDC's ability to accurately assess the COVID-19 THN (Travel Health Notice) levels for most destinations that American travelers visit is limited," a CDC spokesperson stated.
All travelers going overseas are still advised by the CDC to maintain their current coronavirus vaccine and extra injections. Aside from considering their medical history and risk tolerance, travelers are urged to make informed choices. The government agency still advises Americans to be tested before taking flights back to the U.S.
To help the public better protect them and understand their risk, the CDC updated its COVID-19 guidance in August. This was done because the virus now poses a considerably lower risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death than it did earlier in the pandemic. The CDC's COVID-19 Program for Cruise Ships was officially discontinued earlier this year by government officials, and the organization now offers health and safety recommendations for the cruise industry in the same way that it does for other travel-related industries.
