WASHINGTON - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday warned against travel to Spain, Portugal, Cuba, Cyprus and Kyrgyzstan because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases in those countries.
The CDC raised its travel advisory to "Level Four: Very High" for those countries telling Americans they should avoid travel there.
Spain reopened its borders to U.S. tourists in June.
CDC also raised Armenia to "Level 3."
The "Level 3" rating says unvaccinated travelers should avoid nonessential travel to that country and is one level below the CDC's most severe travel rating.
