The CDC elevated its travel recommendation to "Level Four: Very High", telling Americans they should avoid travel to those destinations, which also include Panama, Qatar, the Bahamas, Bahrain, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Suriname, Saint Lucia and Bolivia.
In total, the CDC now lists just more than 100 countries and territories at Level Four.
The CDC also raised another 20 countries to "Level Three: High", including Uganda, Kuwait, Jamaica, Costa Rica and Cuba.
The CDC recommends that unvaccinated Americans avoid non-essential travel to those destinations.
