The U.S. State Department on Tuesday upgraded Canada to “do not travel” status amid rising COVID-19 cases in the country.

Eighty-per cent of the world’s countries are now ‘do not travel’ countries for the U.S., according to the Associated Press. Travel is also discouraged for the remaining 20 per cent, though not as emphatically. It says people with plans to visit those countries should reconsider before proceeding.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) previously listed Canada as Level 4 or “very high” warning against all travel to the country.
