CDC eases COVID travel assessment for Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Haiti

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday eased its COVID-19 travel ratings for Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and Haiti. The CDC said it had changed its COVID-19 travel recommendation for the three countries to 'Level 1: Low' from 'Level 4: Very High,' which urges Americans to avoid travel to those locations.
