The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have just put holiday plans in doubt for thousands of Americans by updating their COVID-19 travel risk list. France—one of the most popular destinations for holiday travel—has been deemed a “very high” travel risk along with Portugal in Europe. The Category 4 classification is an automatic distinction when any country reaches more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents.
