WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US State Department on Monday advised US citizens not to travel to Germany and Denmark because of the growing number of Covid-19 cases in these countries.
The CDC raised its travel guidance to “very high” level 4 for the two European countries, telling Americans they should avoid travel there, while the State Department issued parallel “no travel” recommendations for both countries. countries.
The CDC currently lists 75 destinations worldwide at Level 4, with many European countries including Austria, the UK, Belgium, Greece, Norway, Switzerland, Romania, Ireland and the Czech Republic.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told her party leaders that measures taken to stop the spread of the coronavirus in Europe’s biggest economy were insufficient, and that stronger action needed to be taken, according to a Reuters report on Monday.
The number of cases in Germany has soared, especially among the elderly, who received both doses of Covid-19 vaccines earlier this year, and among children who are not allowed to receive the vaccination.
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization (WHO) said European countries needed to work harder to prevent the spread of the coronavirus as the number of deaths and new cases increased.
