CDC updates ‘very high’ COVID risk travel list

Published

on

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its travel recommendation list as the Omicron strain of COVID-19 continues to spread across the world

The CDC designated half a dozen new places to “very high” risk for travel, including South Korea and French Polynesia.

The six new additions to the “very high” risk Level 4 category include:

  • South Korea
  • Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea
  • Belarus, located in a presently very tense spot bordering Russia and Ukraine
  • Comoros, an archipelago off Africa’s east coast
  • French Polynesia in the South Pacific
  • Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French archipelago south of Canada’s Newfoundland

Level 4, the CDC’s highest risk level, has now grown to almost 140 places

In early January, there were around 80 destinations listed as a level 4.

Level 4 now has more destinations than all the other CDC categories combined and accounts for more than half of all the destinations listed by the CDC.

The CDC advises travellers to avoid visiting Level 4 listed countries due to the risk of catching COVID.

The CDC places a destination at Level 4 when more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents are registered in the past 28 days.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Published

on

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
