In its new bulletin, the State Department said to American citizens “Avoid travel to France” and raised the alert level for this country to the fourth level, the highest, as Christmas and New Year approached, amid the outbreak of the mutant “Omicron”.
The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, the main health authority in the United States, stated that “given the current (associated with COVID-19) situation in France, even fully vaccinated travelers can be at risk of contracting and transmitting mutants.”
The list of countries concerned with the warning issued by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control includes, in addition to France and Portugal, Cyprus, Andorra and Liechtenstein in Europe, as well as Jordan and Tanzania.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added to this list Mali and Fiji, which both announced on Monday their first case of Omicron.
