USA Names Jersey 'Very High' Risk Destination

Americans are being advised to avoid travel to Jersey after the island was included among the country's strictest COVID-19 travel restrictions.

The CDC has grouped Jersey as level 4, with travellers warned that even if fully vaccinated, there's a risk of catching and spreading coronavirus here.

Previously the island was listed as 'unknown' under the US travel guidelines.

Jersey isn't the only addition to the USA's level 4 restrictions, with Dominica, Montenegro and Turkey also being added.

The classification is down to having more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents over the last month.

Recently the number of active COVID-19 cases in Jersey has been falling. There are now 415 people known to have the virus in the island, down from more than 3,000 a few weeks ago.
