The United States CDC has now moved Bermuda up to Level 3, which states that there is a “high level of Covid-19 in Bermuda” and “unvaccinated travelers should avoid nonessential travel to Bermuda” and “because of the current situation in Bermuda, all travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading Covid-19 variant.”
This is the latest change in the always evolving classification system the CDC runs, following after an update earlier this month which saw us move from Level 1 to Level 2. The CDC currently ranks most jurisdictions in the world as either Level 3 or 4.
This comes as the island has increasing positive cases — with 79 new cases announced today — and in releasing the latest test results, a spokesperson noted that “although Bermuda’s current country status is listed as ‘Sporadic Cases,’ data indicates that Bermuda currently meets the criteria for ‘Community Transmission.”
