Jamaica was among fifteen destinations added to the list on Monday and is now categorised as Level 4, or very high risk.
The CDC places a destination at Level 4 when more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents are registered in the last 28 days.
The CDC advises travelers to avoid travel to those countries.
Jamaica's Ministry of Health & Wellness on Monday reported that the country's COVID-19 positivity rate was 48 per cent.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jacquiline Bisasor McKenzie has warned that the current surge could be protracted if infections plateau.
