The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week added two European countries to its list of “very high” risk travel destinations, as the United States on Monday moved to reopen its borders to vaccinated international travelers.
The Netherlands and Luxembourg were among the northwestern European countries to be added to the list, while the Cayman Islands and the Faroe Islands were also listed as the latest destinations with “Level 4: Very High” warnings, with the federal agency urging individuals to “avoid travel” to the regions.
