CNN was among the first international media channels to make this news public. Mauritius, along with Italy and Greenland, has been added to its Level 4 (Very High Level of COVID-19) list.
The United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added Mauritius, Italy, and Greenland to its level 4 list almost 15 hours ago.
The following can be read from the CNN news story on the three countries that have just been added to the Level 4 list:
“The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added three nations to its highest-risk category for travel on Monday, including favorite tourist destination, Italy.
In its weekly update of Covid-19 travel advisories, the CDC also added giant, frigid Greenland and the tiny, tropical East African island nation of Mauritius to its “Level 4: Covid-19 Very High” category.
Typically, the CDC places a destination at Level 4 when more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents are registered in the past 28 days.
“All three nations moved up from Level 3.”
As can be seen in the image above, the website of CDC advises travelers to avoid traveling to Mauritius. The notice further states that the situation is such that even fully vaccinated may risk getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.
