Travel Risk Intelligence has issued an evaluation of countries and regions and the level of risk in regards to COVID-19.

The list is evaluating different regions in the United States instead of the entire country. It also is not taking small countries like San Marino or Vatican City in separate consideration and includes them within Italy.

This puts regions like California, New York into the High Risk region, but the rest of the United States remains in the medium risk category.
