Video above: Summer travel tipsThe US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added four places to its list of “high” risk destinations for COVID-19, including a small and charming Caribbean nation.St. Kitts and Nevis, part of the Leeward Islands east of Puerto Rico, was placed in the Level 3 category on Monday. The destination is known for its beautiful, lush scenery and cultural experiences. In April, the CDC revised its rating system for assessing travelers’ COVID-19 risk. The risk category level 3 “high” is now the top level in terms of risk level. Level 2 is considered “moderate” risk and Level 1 is considered “low” risk. Level 4, previously the highest risk category, is now reserved only for special circumstances such as: B. extremely high number of cases, emergence of a new worrying variant or collapse of the health infrastructure. So far, no destinations have been classified at level 4 under the new system. The Stage 3: COVID-19 high category now applies to countries that had more than 100 cases per 100,000 population in the last 28 days. Here is the full list of Monday’s new arrivals at Level 3: • Guyana • Mongolia • Namibia • St Kitts and Nevis All were previously at Level 2. On June 6th there were approximately 115 targets at Level 3. Level 3 locations now make up nearly half of the approximately 235 sites monitored by the CDC. Level 3 Many other popular destinations are also on Level 3. Much of Europe has been stuck there for months as the summer travel season kicks off. As of June 6, the following popular European destinations were among those remaining at Tier 3: • France • Germany • Greece • Ireland • Italy • Netherlands • Portugal • Spain • United Kingdom. It’s not just European favorites that find themselves at Tier 3. A number of notable destinations around the world are among those in the high-risk category, including the following: • Brazil • Canada • Costa Rica • Malaysia • South Korea • Thailand The CDC advises you to find out about your COVID-19 vaccines beforehand Traveling to a Tier 3 destination. Being up-to-date means that you have not only received the full initial vaccinations, but also all booster vaccinations that you are eligible for. Tier 2 destinations, labeled Tier 2: COVID-19 Moderate, have reported 50 to 100 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents over the past 28 days. Only two spots were moved to this tier on Monday: • Guatemala • Zimbabwe Home to beautiful Lake Atitlán and Mayan ruins, Guatemala was at Tier 3 last week. The move was bad news for southern African safari destination Zimbabwe. It was at Tier 1. On June 6th, about 15 destinations were listed in Tier 2.

Stage 1 To move to “Stage 1 : COVID-19 low,” a target must be 49 or fewer new cases per 100,000 population over the past 28 days. Only two targets were added to the June 6 category: • Iran • Lebanon. Both Middle East countries were at Level 2 last week. Unknown Finally, there are destinations that the CDC has classified as an “unknown” risk due to a lack of information. Usually, but not always, these are small, remote places or places with ongoing wars or civil unrest. Libya was the only place included in this category on June 6th. The CDC advises against traveling to these locations precisely because the risks are unknown. Destinations in this category include Cambodia, the Canary Islands, Macau and Tanzania. A medical expert assesses the risk level as “a phase of the pandemic has entered where people have to make their own decisions based on their medical circumstances as well as their risk tolerance when it comes to contracting COVID-19,” said Wen, an emergency doctor and Professor of Health Policy and Management in the School of Public Health at George Washington University’s Milken Institute. According to Wen, there are other factors to consider besides transfer rates. Third, what are you planning to do when you get there,” she said. “Planning to visit many attractions and go to indoor bars? You plan to lie on the beach all day and not interact with anyone. That is very different. Those are very different levels of risk.” Vaccination is the most important safety factor for travel because unvaccinated travelers are more likely to get sick and transmit COVID-19 to others, Wen said. And it’s also important to consider what you would do if you tested positive while away from home. Where will you stay and how easy will it be to get a test to return home? read more

Caucasus Travel Guide

It’s rare in the world where one can see as geographically and ethnically unique region as the South Caucasus that any Russian speaker habitually calls it Transcaucasia.

Fertile lands, abundance of water and mild climate always led to the development of the drainage agriculture and cattle breeding. Here trade grew, crafts developed, cities were built, and transport routes were getting better. Being located on the crossroad of the Eastern Europe and the Western Asia, washed by the Black Sea on the West, and by the Caspian Sea on the East, Transcaucasia had passed reign of different empires: Roman, Byzantine, Mongol, Persian, Osman and Russian, each of which had promoted its own religious and cultural traditions. Rich soil, cities with developed trade and crafts had attracted warlike neighbours. The Medieval Period for Transcaucasia was the time of brutal wars, feodal fragmentation and devastating campaigns of the Mongol Horde and Tamerlane’s warriors.
