Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, countries including the US have issued travel advisories meant to keep citizens safe and discourage travel to areas with high transmission of COVID-19.

While the State Department advises Americans not to travel to 97 countries because of the pandemic or other unsafe conditions, the US Centers for Disease Prevention and Control recommends against traveling to 77 countries specifically because of COVID-19.

On Tuesday, the CDC added a Level 4 Travel Advisory for Jamaica, Lebanon, and Sri Lanka, telling Americans not to travel to those countries because of "a very high level of COVID-19 in the country." France and the Bahamas, two popular tourist destinations for Americans, are also at a Level 4 warning.

Level 4 is the highest travel advisory that the agencies flag, and the new advisories have come as the Delta and Mu variants continue to spread around the world.

The CDC also added a Level 3: Reconsider Travel advisory for Anguilla, Australia, Brunei, Ghana, Grenada, Madagascar, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Some of the Level 4 advisories - such as those issued for Nicaragua and Afghanistan - have been issued for sociopolitical reasons.
