The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control have designated Malawi a COVID-19 high risk country, and they are warning people against traveling to the southern African nation. In Its travel notice this week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised people to avoid traveling to Malawi. The World Health Organization has added Malawi to a list of African countries that expose people to a high risk of COVID-19 infection. He says although the CDC’s travel notice was not expected, it hasn’t come as a surprise, considering the recent surge in COVID-19 cases. Economists say although the travel notice is logical, they nonetheless worry it will have a negative impact on the country, which depends greatly on international trade.
