The Tourism Ministry has welcomed the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC’s downgrading of Jamaica’s Covid-19 travel risk level.
Jamaica was yesterday downgraded from a level 3 to a level 2 designation in recognition of the country’s efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19 effectively.
The new classification places the destination in a risk category lower than that of more than 70 per cent of countries worldwide.
Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett has expressed delight at the classification, noting that it will positively affect the number of visitors travelling to the island from the United States during the Winter Tourist Season.
Meantime, Senior Strategist in the Tourism Ministry Delano Seiveright says the risk downgrade shows that Jamaica is a safe destination.
