ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ COVID-19 Travel Restrictions Announced

To the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Community:

In light of continuing COVID-19-related developments in the U.S., we are now requesting that all faculty, staff and students traveling anywhere outside Northeast Ohio during spring break register with the university before departure.

 regarding spring break travel in the U.S.; .

We make this request out of the possibility that, as additional outbreaks arise, travelers to certain domestic areas may be required to self-isolate for 14 days before returning to campus (This requirement now applies to those countries the ).

In addition, we are prohibiting all university-related domestic travel to cities or counties where government leaders have declared a health emergency—or the CDC has declared high risk. As of now, the only places that fit that definition are Los Angeles and King counties (Seattle is in the latter); we will provide updates should additional localities join them.

Our requests for registration for international travel remain: Faculty and staff traveling abroad are asked to  at least three days prior to departure. Students are asked to provide their information on .

We regret the concern and disruption that this request and requirement may cause, but consider them important to the university’s efforts to maintain the health and safety of the community. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
