In April, the CDC reworked its ratings method for evaluating Covid-19 risk for travellers.

The "high" risk has risen to the very top of the scale at Level 3. Level 2 is classified as "moderate" risk, while Level 1 is classified as "low" risk.

Level 4, earlier the maximum risk category, has become reserved for extreme cases, the emergence of any new variant, or medical infrastructure failure. The new system has yet to assign a destination to Level 4.

Covid-19 (Level 3) countries had more than 100 infections per 100 000 people in the last 28 days.

On May 31, there were approximately 110 Level 3 destinations. Level 3 sites now account for slightly less than 50 percent of the CDC's 235 monitored sites.

With the exception of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Saint Kitts and Nevis, the majority of the Caribbean region is at Level 3, with the exception of the Dominican Republic and Saint Kitts, Cuba, and Nevis, which all shifted to Level 2 last Tuesday.

Unknown

Due to not enough information, the CDC has designated some destinations as "unknown" risk. These are typically  small, remote areas or where unrest warfare or unrest is ongoing.

There have been no new entries in this segment on Tuesday.

Because the risks are unclear, the CDC advises against going to these locations. French Polynesia, the Azores, Tanzania, and Cambodia are among the regions in this category.
