With Canada’s rising COVID-19 cases, the U.S. government is warning its citizens to avoid travelling north of the border.

On Jan. 10, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Level 4 Travel Notice that put Canada at the highest risk in its alert system.  

“Avoid travel to Canada,” the notice says, citing a “very high level of COVID-19” in the country.
