The U.S. State Department on Jan. 17 changed its travel advisory for Jamaica and indicated a lowered risk for U.S. citizens who want to travel to the Caribbean island nation.
The agency reduced its advisory for Jamaica from Level 3 to Level 2, meaning that U.S. citizens who travel there should use “increased caution,” citing “crime, health, and natural disaster risks.” Some areas in the country have a higher risk than others, it said.
