The CDC relaxed travel recommendations for 110 countries and territories

It’s officially getting easier to travel internationally, as the CDC released new travel recommendations for 110 countries and territories.  

The recommendations are based on a system of levels that range from 1-4. Level 1 means travelers can practice normal pandemic precautions while traveling freely in that country or territory. The CDC’s Level 4 means to avoid all travel. Levels 2 and 3 warn that there is risk involved in traveling, but you can do so with extra precautions in place. 

Tuesday’s new recommendations downgraded 61 countries to a Level 3, while another 50 were downgraded to Level 2 or Level 1. The eased restrictions also include Japan, which is timely due to the Olympic Games being held there next month. 

What does this mean for the summer games and what other countries received new CDC travel levels in the revised recommendations?
