The number of Covid-19 patients in American hospitals has surpassed 100,000 for the first time, nearly double the number from spring during the coronavirus’s deadly first wave, according to the Covid Tracking Project.

The Tracking Project on Wednesday put the number of patients at 100,226.

The relentless rise in hospitalizations follows a rapid climb in new cases, which now number more than one million every week. And deaths, a so-called lagging indicator that tends to spike after a rise in hospitalizations, have also been rising fast. They have now passed 270,000 in the U.S.

  • The CDC says the safest way to celebrate winter holidays this year is at home.
  • But if you do plan to travel, the CDC recommends getting tested twice, once before and once after, and restricting your outings to only those most essential in the days surrounding your trip.
  • The CDC says travelers should get tested for the virus one to three days before traveling, as well as three to five days afterwards, and make sure both of those tests come back negative.
  • The agency also recommends restricting any “non-essential” outings for at least seven days after traveling.

CDC warns Americans to avoid all travel to Mexico amid troubling surge in COVID-19 cases and deaths

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging Americans to avoid all travel to Mexico as cases of COVID-19 continue to surge across the Central American nation.

Within the last two weeks, Mexico has surpassed more than 1.11 million confirmed cases of coronavirus and reported over 105,000 deaths – the fourth highest virus death toll in the world, behind the US, Brazil and India respectively. 

Mexico also has the second-highest case fatality rate per every 100,000 residents of any country in the world at 9.5 percent. Only Yemen, with a fatality rate of 28.3 percent, has fared worse.

However, experts warn the country’s actual case and death tally is likely to be much higher partly because of low testing levels across the nation. 

In light of the troubling virus surge, the CDC posted an update to its website on November 21 raising its travel warning for Mexico up to

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising travelers to avoid cruising for quite a while. The agency rates cruise travel a Level 4: Very High Level of COVID-19.
  • COVID-19 continues to surge in the United States, where more than 267,000 people have died.
  • If you have a cruise trip coming up, it’s best to postpone it.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended travelers to avoid cruise ships for the foreseeable future due to a very high risk of COVID-19 transmission.

This advisory comes on the heels of the CDC lifting an order on Nov. 1 that had previously prevented cruise ships of at least 250 passengers in waters subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

Despite lifting the order, the CDC is now advising travelers to avoid cruising for quite a while.

U.S. cruise stocks are shrugging off a potentially damaging setback after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over the weekend ratcheted up its warning about cruise travel.

The CDC increased its travel warning for cruise travel from level 3 to level 4, which deems the risk for Covid-19 “very high.”

All people should “avoid travel on cruise ships, including river cruises, worldwide, because the risk of COVID-19 on cruise ships is very high,” the CDC said in a statement on its website. “It is especially important that people with an increased risk of severe illness avoid travel on cruise ships, including river cruises,” the federal agency added.

Millions are already traveling for Thanksgiving, despite pleas from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to spend the holiday at home as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise.

Over the weekend, more than three million people passed through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints nationwide. Sunday marked the busiest day for air travel since the pandemic began with the agency screening 1,047,934 people.

“Travelers are navigating a slew of new factors from flexible work schedules, school schedules, to changing health safety advisories,” TripIt spokesperson Kelly Soderlund told ABC News. “People are extending their stays with a 28% increase in weeklong lodging reservations. Big city metros aren’t as popular for holiday travel as they usually are.”
