The CDC uses travel health advice (THLs) to inform health threat travelers around the world and give advice on the best way to protect yourself whenever you go on an international trip. These are not limited to COVID, but as a result of the pandemic, the CDC has implemented specific THN Covid-19.

Before the pandemic, the CDC had adhered to a three-level warning system for travel advice, but according to the guy points,Level 4 has been implemented November 20, 2020 "as a means of closing more closely with the warning systems used by public health organizations."

By the CDC COVID-19 THS page,Levels are raised When the incidence rate (number of cases) and the test measurements meet the higher level threshold and remain at this level for 14 days. If there is a substantial increase, it can be raised earlier than 14 days, the CDC said. Similarly, a level of THN is lowered when meeting the metric for a lower level, but in this case, it must remain at this level for 28 days. To drop before this, vaccination coverage rates and case trajectory should be taken into account.

As of April 18, the CDC will limit the use of Level 4 status (the highest ranking), when issuing the risk warnings of COVID-19 in different countries. Level 4 indicates that you should not go to a destination of some destinations, and if you need to go to a level 4 country, you should be up to date with Covid vaccinations in front of your trip.

"Level 4 will no longer be based on the incidence of COVID-19 or the number of case cases," the CDC COVID-19 THN update page is read. "It will be reserved for particular circumstances, such as the rapid escalation of the case trajectory or extremely high case numbers, the emergence of a new variant concern and collapse of health care infrastructures. "

The placement of a country at level 1, 2 or 3 will continue to be mainly based on the COVID-19 incidence rate (meaning new cumulative cases) and a new case trajectory in the last 28 days.

ByLevel 4 limit Only countries where situations are particularly concerning, the objectives of the CDC "to help the public understand when the highest level of concern is the most urgent," announced a declaration of April 13 of the Organization.
