0

Washington: The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised against travel to Germany and Denmark due to a rising number of Covid-19 cases in those countries while the State Department issued parallel ‘Do Not Travel’ advisories for both countries.

The CDC raised its travel warning to level four, which is considered as very high, for the two European countries, adding that the people of America should avoid travel there.

Meanwhile, the CDC lowered its Covid-19 travel advisory from level four to level three, which is considered as low, for Israel, Aruba, the US Virgin Islands, Curacao and Guadeloupe.

Earlier this month, the World Health Organization (WHO) had said that European countries must work harder to prevent the coronavirus spreading further as deaths and new cases surge.

Soon after the Covid-19 cases started increasing in Germany, the country decided to limit large parts of public life in areas where hospitals are filling with COVID-19 patients.

It is noteworthy of that the people who received their first two shots of COVID-19 vaccine at the beginning of the year, and children who are not eligible for vaccination yet are the ones among whom the Covid-19 virus is spreading rapidly now.
