After moving a massive number of destinations down to its “high” risk category for travel during the COVID pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC) has decided to pull Belize off the Level 3 list down to Level 2 as case numbers continue to fall. With more than 50 percent of the population vaccinated— including tourism frontline workers —travelers can bask in wide-open spaces , alongside enhanced health and safety protocols. Specifically, the US State Department puts countries into one of four categories, based on a risk assessment:

• Level 1 is “exercise normal precautions”
• Level 2 is “exercise increased caution”
• Level 3 is “reconsider travel”
• Level 4 is “do not travel”

The Level 2 “moderate” risk category also saw the nations of Antigua and Barbuda , Mexico, and Iran slide into the list from Level 3. Taiwan was also moved to Level 2 from Level 1 “low” risk as its COVID situation worsened.
