NEVER travel there: the most dangerous countries for 2020

A new interactive map has revealed which are the most dangerous countries in the world for 2020.

This year's interactive map, which was created by the organization International SOS, a global risk expert, ranks the security of countries according to three criteria: medical safety, general safety and road safety. According to the assessed level of security, countries are classified into one of five classes: from "insignificant" security risk to "extreme" security risk.

This year they were like "extremely risky" the following countries are recognized:

Small
Somalia
South Sudan
Central African Republic
Yemen
Libya
Syria
Iraq
Afghanistan
part of Ukraine

They are in these countries government control and peace in larger areas minimal or they don't even exist. They exist threats of violent attacks by armed groups, transport services are below average or barely functional, and large areas of the country are inaccessible to foreigners.

On the other hand, many Nordic countries were ranked to the class with the lowest level of risk; they included among these Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Finland and Denmark. They were also ranked among the safest Switzerland, Luxembourg and Slovenia, which is ranked 8th among the safest countries in the world. In these countries, according to International SOS, violent crime rates are very low, and there is no major political violence or civil unrest. The security and emergency services are efficient and the infrastructure is reliable. Transportation services are at a high level.

Countries with a high health risk they are Venezuela, Haiti, Niger, Libya and numerous West African countries. For these, primary care, emergency care or dental services are considered to be very limited or non-existent. Quality prescription drugs are often not available. Foodborne and waterborne infections are very common. They are also among the countries with a high health risk North Korea and Afghanistan. Most European countries (with the exception of Kosovo) are in the category of countries with a low to medium health risk.
