Opinion on United States of America is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Four of the ten take the stricter view, and the remaining six see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.

The warnings for United States of America are not uniform across the country. Two distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Northern Gulf coast and USA-Hawaii. At least one government advises against non-essential travel to a specific area while taking a softer line on the country overall.
