WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department said on Monday it will boost its "Do Not Travel" guidance to about 80% of countries worldwide, citing "unprecedented risk to travelers" from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The State Department already listed 34 out of about 200 countries as "Level 4: Do Not Travel," including places like Chad, Kosovo, Kenya, Brazil, Argentina, Haiti, Mozambique, Russia and Tanzania.
"This update will result in a significant increase in the number of countries at Level 4: Do Not Travel, to approximately 80% of countries worldwide," the department said in a statement.
Getting to 80% would imply adding nearly 130 countries.
The State Department said the move does not imply a reassessment of current health situations in some countries, but rather "reflects an adjustment in the State Department's Travel Advisory system to rely more on (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's) existing epidemiological assessments."
Most Americans were already prevented from traveling to much of Europe because of COVID-19 restrictions. Washington has barred nearly all non-U.S. citizens who have recently been in most of Europe, China, Brazil, Iran and South Africa.
The White House has given no timeline for when it might ease those restrictions.

They did that last year. Restricted interstate highway travel in the South. Threatened to hold people in quarantine if they traveled into a state. Hawaii still does this.
That’s funny, I was hitting all those spots this year
never trust a government that opens its border and distributes thousands of disease carrying invaders across its country during a so called global pandemic...
Gotta keep the Great Reset going
So where is the list of the 134 countries?
Oh, I think they called him a lot worse than that, i.e., racist, for boosting "Do Not Travel" advisories.
But Orange Man was bad for calling them shitholes.
Communist China, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, North Korea, Iran, Belarus, Libya, South Africa
Aren’t illegals ‘traveling’ to get here??????
“Hawaii still does this.”
I don’t think Hawaii has much of a problem with interstate travel.
How do you feel about Greenland?
The interstate hwy ref was for the South. But also NY.
At that point, the advisories are completely worthless.
I know, I agree with you.
Having been to several of those countries I’d say “do not travel” is a good idea even without the Wuhan Flu.
They must first COLLAPSE the U.S. and Israel before the LEFT can establish the NEW WORLD ORDER.
This, when coupled with the vaccination passport talk...
Edgy.
Americans (and practically everyone else) can go basically nowhere unless they already have citizenship (almost all), permanent residence (most) or a work or school visa (some) in the country they want to travel to. Think only a handful allow tourists
State Department full of shit.
With 80% of the world, including all of Europe under “Do Not Travel”
Yet India is at level 2 (they have half the new covid cases in the world) at the same level as Australia (with very little covid) you just know the table is nonsense.
#2 Ok. so where CAN we go?
The Michigan governor recently went to Florida for a vacation and the Michigan HHS director went to Alabama.
Apparently not Michigan unless it is northern Michigan where the governor has a vacation home where she vacation last year....
We have been had. COVID-19 0.03% 2021 (as of March 15)
