Travel Restrictions
Information last updated on Tuesday, June 9, 2020.
The US State Department has raised its global travel warning to the highest level (Level 4: Do not travel), which recommends that citizens avoid all international travel.
US citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, provided that they’re in a country where it’s still possible to fly back on a commercial airline.
US citizens who live abroad should avoid all international travel.
Foreign exchange students currently living abroad should consider flying back to the United States, but consult with their schools first.
US citizens who wish to travel within the United States are currently not blocked from doing so by any official nationwide advisories or restrictions, but should consider the risks of being in crowded spaces and their ability to self-isolate at their destinations.
The CDC has recently issued a travel advisory for residents of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to avoid non-essential domestic travel. Only employees of critical infrastructure industries as defined by the Department of Homeland Security may continue to travel to maintain their normal work schedules.
