CDC urges US citizens to avoid UK travel
Mamta Badkar in New York
The top US public health agency on Monday placed the UK on its highest tier for Covid-19 levels, urging Americans not to visit — on the same day that England celebrates “freedom day”.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention placed the UK on Level 4, a ranking reserved for countries with “very high” levels of Covid-19, and urged its citizens to avoid travel to the country.
The CDC uses a four-level system to categorise international travel destinations as well as US territories. Level 1 is reserved for places with a low level of Covid-19 transmission and the CDC asks citizens to ensure they are fully vaccinated before travel. Level 2 signals moderate levels of Covid-19 and urges unvaccinated travellers at increased risk of severe illness to avoid non-essential travel to these destinations. Level 3 indicates high levels of Covid-19 and the US agency urges unvaccinated travellers to avoid non-essential travel. Finally, Level 4 indicates very high levels of Covid-19.
England on Monday removed all restrictions on social contact as part of prime minister Boris Johnson’s “freedom day”, even as coronavirus cases continued to surge across the UK. The number of new daily infections across the UK reached 39,950 on Monday, fuelled by the Delta variant, while the seven-day infection rate stands at 399.6 per 100,000 people.
The move by the CDC dealt a further blow to hopes that the US and UK will agree to open an air travel corridor before the end of the summer.
