The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention named Mexico and 11 other countries to its list of countries that Americans should not currently travel to due to a high count of COVID-19 cases on Monday.
Mexico is now considered a “Level 4” country on the CDC’s 4-level travel health notice scale based on the number of new COVID-19 cases reported per 100,000 people over the past 28 days.
“CDC raises a destination’s THN level when the incidence rate (or case count) and testing metrics meet the THN threshold for a higher level and remain at that level for 14 consecutive days,” the agency said.
