CDC changing how it updates travel health notice system

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced two travel-related COVID-19 updates. First, the organization is extending the mask mandate for at least two weeks because of an uptick in cases due to the BA.2 omicron subvariant and an overhaul of its Travel Health Notice System.

In addition to the mask mandate extension, the CDC said it would be changing the way it updates its Travel Health Notice system for international destinations. The new system will help the public better gauge risk in a certain location.
