UNITED STATES CDC ISSUES TRAVEL ADVISORY ON ANTIGUA

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says unvaccinated US travellers should not visit Antigua and Barbuda unless it’s necessary.

The public health agency moved the country’s COVID- 19 ranking from moderate risk at level 2 to high at level 3 in its 4-tier system.

The ranking means new cases over the past 28 days are between 100 and 500.  This is a metric used for populations of 100-thousand or fewer.
