The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added two northwestern European countries to its list of “very high” risk travel destinations this week amid a surge in cases in Europe that a WHO official has said is “of grave concern.”
The Netherlands and Luxembourg were added to the CDC’s highest risk category Monday afternoon. There were both previously listed as Level 3, or “high” risk for Covid-19.
