CDC thresholds for travel health notices are based primarily on the number of Covid-19 cases in a destination.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC does not include the United States in its list of advisories, but it was color-coded at Level 4 on March 14 on the agency&#8217;s map of travel risk levels.<\/p>\n<p>A view of Bonis Windmill and the Old Port of Mykonos, one of the most popular islands in Greece.
