The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has put Azerbaijan and Belarus at the highest level for COVID-19, warning Americans to avoid traveling to either country.
The CDC on February 14 announced that it had placed the two countries at Level 4: Very High on its list of travel notice.
People who must travel to Belarus or Azerbaijan should make sure they are vaccinated and “up to date” with COVID-19 vaccinations before they travel, the notice said, adding that even people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 may still be at risk of getting and spreading the virus.
