The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a travel warning for American citizens to two countries, including a popular tourist destination, due to outbreaks of a mosquito-borne virus in recent days.

In a Level 2 alert issued on Feb. 11, the CDC said that travelers should avoid going to Bolivia because of an outbreak of the chikungunya virus in two states, the Santa Cruz and Cochabamba Departments.
