The federal agency on Monday removed 89 countries from its “Do Not Travel” list. The highest Level 4 designation will now be reserved for “special circumstances” reflecting a dangerous spike in COVID cases, a new variant or health care infrastructure collapse.
While the Level 4 list had at one point included well over 100 destinations, there are currently no Level 4 countries.
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 classifications continue to be based on a 28-day incidence or case counts.
Countries with a “high level of COVID-19” are considered Level 3. Travelers who are not fully vaccinated are still advised to “avoid travel” to these destinations, but the warning does not apply to fully vaccinated visitors. Travelers with weakened immune systems are urged to check with doctors before visiting.
