New Porchlight from Dan Mahar

AlanS

I just received the latest "Porchlight" email from Dan Mahar- a really positive, uplifting message! You go Tauck!

If you don't get the email, you can find essentially the same information without Dan's musings in Tauck's most recent press release at this link: https://www.tauck.com/media/press-releases/tauck-resuming-operations-in-europe-and-africa

or read the original in an MSword doc at the attachment.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has eased travel recommendations for more than 110 countries and territories, including Japan just ahead of the Olympics.

The CDC’s new ratings, first reported by Reuters and posted on a CDC website on Monday, include 61 nations that were lowered from its highest “Level 4” rating that discouraged all travel to recommending travel for fully vaccinated individuals, the agency confirmed on Tuesday.

An additional 50 countries and territories have been lowered to “Level 2” or “Level 1,” a CDC spokeswoman said. Countries ranked lowest for COVID-19 risks now include Singapore, Israel, South Korea, Iceland, Belize and Albania.

Among those now listed at “Level 3,” are France, Ecuador, the Philippines, South Africa, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, Honduras, Hungary and Italy.
