The Center for Disease Control issued a travel warning for Italy, after more then 200 cases of the novel COVID-19 were discovered in the northern region of the country.
At least six people have died from the virus. The CDC issued a level 2 warning, urging Americans who are "high risk travellers" to reconsider "non-essential" travel. Older individuals or those pre-existing conditions should try and avoid travel to the country.
Additionally, while the CDC is not recommending an entire ban on travel, it does encourage travelers to avoid people who are sick and wash their hands for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer more frequently.
