After Singapore loosened entry restrictions for fully-vaccinated travelers, the CDC moved the destination to Level 4, the highest warning level. Under the CDC’s guidelines, Level 4 countries are considered “very high risk: avoid travel.” The CDC also changed the warning levels for 18 other destinations, moving some up to a higher warning level and some down to a lower category. The CDC uses two primary criteria to determine the travel warning levels: the amount of new COVID-19 cases over the past 28 days, and new case trajectory (if daily new cases have increased, decreased, or remained stable.) Here’s what changed: Level 4: COVID-19 Very High Singapore Level 3: COVID-19 High Angola Cyprus Djibouti Eswatini Hungary Tunisia Level 2: COVID-19 Moderate Bangladesh Bolivia Cameroon Ghana Kenya Poland Republic of the Congo Level 1: COVID-19 Low Bhutan Paraguay Senegal Zambia Level Unknown: COVID-19 Unknown Kazakhstan You Might Also Like: • How to Make a Home Gym (No Matter How Little Space You Have) • 9 Workleisure Items for the Perfect Work from Home Outfit • 10 Wellness Retreats to Nourish Your Soul • 4 Popular European Destinations Moved to the CDC’s Highest Risk Level for Travel • The 15 Items You Need to Survive a Long-Haul Flight We hand-pick everything we recommend and select items through testing and reviews.
