Placing India on Level 2, the State Department identified "crime and terrorism" for Americans to exercise increased caution.

In addition, the new system will explain why the advisory was made, with one-letter logos: C for crime, T for terrorism, U for civil unrest, H for health risks, N for natural disasters, E for special events like an election and O for some other reason.

"We often got questions from people saying, 'I read your travel warning, but what does that mean, what am I supposed to do?'" Bernier-Toth said during a State Department call early Wednesday.

In the new system, United States warns citizens against traveling to the "Kenya-Somalia border and some coastal areas due to terrorism".

Malaysia has been ranked among countries with the lowest advisory level for safety and security risk under the United States' newly-improved travel advisory programme.

What were previously referred to as "warnings" and "alerts" are being re-classified as "advisories", accompanied by a color and number-based system with detailed descriptions on why an advisory has been issued.

Among other countries which are ranked at Level One like Malaysia include Brunei, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, Kazakhstan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. This stems from the recent update of how the US Department of State shares information with US travellers on January 10th.

"They target tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, military and government installations, airports, universities, . schools, hospitals, places of worship, and local government facilities", it added.

Specifically, Level 1 is "Exercise Normal Precautions"; Level 2 "Exercise Increased Caution; Level 3 "Reconsider Travel"; and Level 4 "Do Not Travel". These include France and Belgium, where an ISIS cell conducted deadly attacks in 2015 and 2016, as well as Germany, where a truck plowed into a group of people at a Christmas market in December 2016. Countries in this list include Russian Federation and Turkey.

Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) are placed in the "do not travel" category due to terrorism.

"Terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Pakistan".

Levels Three and Four we review every six months just as we did Travel Warnings.

The advisory further suggested that Americans desiring to visit India must not travel alone, particularly if they were women.
