  CDC uses Travel Health Notices (THNs) to alert travelers and other audiences to health threats around the world and how to protect themselves. On November 21, 2020, CDC adapted its 3-level notice system to a new 4-level system for COVID-19 and updated criteria used to determine THN levels.
  
  COVID-19 Travel Health Notice information can be found in two places:
  
  • An interactive world map which shows COVID-19 travel recommendations by destination
  
  • CDC’s COVID-19 Travel Health Notice webpage
  
  This new 4-level system categorizes destinations, including international destinations and United States Territories, into the following four levels:
  
  • Level 4: Very high level of COVID-19
  
  • Level 3: High level of COVID-19
  
  • Level 2: Moderate level of COVID-19
  
  • Level 1: Low level of COVID-19
