The health and safety of our community is our top priority, and we continue to monitor the coronavirus situation in close consultation with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and other governmental agencies. In an abundance of caution and to conduct ourselves in a prudent manner, we have decided that no faculty, staff or students may undertake any University-sponsored or University-funded international travel to any country unless pre-approved by the Provost, Dean and/or appropriate Vice President as mission-driven and reasonable within the guidelines issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Travel Health Notices for COVID-19.
We also suggest that you follow the CDC's recommendations on international travel in connection with personal travel, and note that if you do not comply you may be self-quarantined or otherwise subject to such restrictions as the CDC or other governmental agencies may require. In addition, the University also may place its own restrictions.
Please continue to be mindful of the enhanced hygiene protocols recommended by the CDC and other governmental agencies as we have previously discussed.
