CDC has advised citizens to “avoid travel” to Ireland for several months.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has moved seven more countries to its highest-risk category for travel - a list that has now grown to include 134 destinations.

The CDC this week gave the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Oman, Libya, Japan, Israel, Cuba and Armenia a "Level 4″ warning, which means it is recommending that Americans avoid traveling there, even if vaccinated.

The CDC moved Ireland to its highest travel alert level due to concerns over Covid-19 last August.
