Changes to Destination reports for Q2 2023
Over the course of 2023-24 Riskline will transition reports from our current model based around "Security and Covid-19" to one of "Security, Health and Travel." The purpose of this Three Pillars project is to offer our clients improved travel and health information while maintaining high quality security reports.

Renaming of "monkeypox" to "mpox"
In light of the recent decision by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to change the name of "monkeypox" to "mpox", we are starting the process to change our reporting of the disease from “monkeypox” to “mpox”. We will eventually phase out the former term and replace it with "mpox".
Launch of our Alerts 4.0
The last major update to our Alert reporting system came in late 2015 and allowed Riskline analysts to double their daily volume of reports.
Changes to our COVID-19 information in 2023
As Covid-19 continues to evolve, we recognise that some of the information that we have provided since the start of the pandemic in early 2020 is no longer relevant or important to today's traveller or travel manager.
Our last remaining COVID-19 regional report has been suspsended
We have suspended our COVID-19 regional report for the Australian state of Victoria following its removal of testing requirements.
In the event of local authorities reintroducing new travel restrictions, Riskline will restart the relevant reports for the affected region(s).
