US has changed its COVID-19 travel recommendation for India to “Level 1: Low” from “Level 3: High”.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State Department has eased the country’s COVID-19 travel ratings for a number of countries including India on Monday.

The CDC COVID-19 travel recommendation for India has been changed to “Level 1: Low” from “Level 3: High,” which urges unvaccinated Americans to avoid travel to those locations.

Chad, Guinea and Namibia also had their rating revised by CDC to “Level 1.”

The US State Department also brought down its travel advisory for India to “Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution,” reflecting the lower COVID-19 risk, but citing the risk of “crime and terrorism.”
