Despite Qatar’s efforts to control the spread of Omicron, Washington has decided to place Doha on its list of high-risk countries.
The U.S Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised American citizens and residents against traveling to 22 countries due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases. Some of the countries recently added to the travel list are Egypt, Albania, Australia, Uruguay and Argentina.
In addition, the CDC updated its “Level Four: Very High” list to include Qatar, along with The Bahamas, Bahrain, Panama, Turks and Caicos Islands and Bolivia. The centre strongly discourages travel to countries on the Level Four list.
With the new additions to the list, there are 101 countries in the red zone that the US advises against traveling to.
Unvaccinated Americans are recommended to stay away from non-essential travel to these countries.
