WASHINGTON, JUNE 6, REUTERS: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has eased its travel recommendations for 61 countries, including Japan, from its highest Level 4 rating, which discouraged all travel, to recommending travel for fully vaccinated individuals, the agency confirmed Tuesday.
The new ratings, which were not previously reported and posted on a CDC website Monday, lower 61 countries to Level 3, including France, South Africa, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Spain and Italy. A U.S. State Department official said it was in the process of revising its travel advisory to reflect the CDC changes.
