The U.S. government has issued a level 3 travel advisory for Jamaica, warning Americans to exercise "extreme caution" if they plan to travel to the Caribbean country. The warning comes after increased crimes and violence in the island in January.
The State department announced the change to its Level 3 travel advisory just a few days after it issued a warning about the Bahamas. This level encourages tourists to "reconsider travel" and, if they don't, to remain extremely cautious.
