The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has put Sweden, Guatemala and Morocco on its 'high' risk list for Covid-19.
To be listed as"Level 1: Covid-19 Low," a destination must have had 49 or fewer new cases per 100,000 residents over the past 28 days. Just two little island destinations were added to the category on July 5:Saba, in the Caribbean, had been at Level 2.

The CDC advises against travel to these places precisely because the risks are unknown. Other destinations in this category that typically draw more tourist attention include French Polynesia, Macau and the Maldives.Transmission rates are just"one guidepost" for travelers' personal risk calculations, according to CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen.
