CDC reported that the recent assessment includes four levels, with four being the highest risk and one being the lowest
The CDC added 16 destinations to its “extremely high” COVID-19 risk level (four) on Monday, including Libya.
Egypt and Mauritania have been ranked among the second-level countries, which are referred to as medium risk.
On the other hand, the fourth level includes Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Somalia, Tunisia, and Libya.
According to the American medical authority, destinations in the “extremely high risk” category have reportedly had more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents in the past 28 days.
