Covid-19: SL at very high risk level: US health agency

01 Dec 2020

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is under the Department of Health and Human Services of the US, has categorised Sri Lanka as having a “very high level of Covid-19”. The CDC said it revised the Travel Health Notice system on 21 November for Covid-19 and released new recommendations for testing before and after international air travel. Accordingly, selected countries have been placed under the categories of Level 4: Very High, Level 3: High, Level 2: Moderate, Level 1: Low, and Level unknown. The revised Travel Notice for Sri Lanka said travellers should avoid all travel to Sri Lanka as travel may increase the chance of contracting Covid-19. “Travellers should avoid all travel to Sri Lanka. If you must travel, talk to your doctor ahead of travel, especially if you are at an increased risk for severe illness from Covid-19. Get tested with a viral test one to three days before your trip and keep a copy of your results with you during travel. “Do not travel if your test result is positive; immediately isolate yourself and follow public health recommendations,” some of the instructions outlined in the notice said. The CDC has placed a large number of countries in the “Level 4: Very High” category while it has placed countries like Barbados, Mauritius, Seychelles, and South Korea in the “Level 2: Moderate” category. Australia, Cambodia, China, Fiji, Hong Kong, Laos, Mongolia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and several other countries have been categorised as “Level 1: Low”.
