On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added three new countries to its "high risk" list for COVID-19, one of which is a Pacific island nation in Asia known for its beautiful beaches. The Philippines, which is made up of 7,000 tropical islands and is known for its beautiful ocean, great food, and friendly people, is now in the "high risk" group, also called "Level 3," along with Russia and Nepal, a popular place for mountain climbers.
