Dear colleagues, Please see below for a message from USG Communications
regarding travel to China.





As of Jan. 30, 2020, the U.S. State Department adjusted its travel advisory
for China from “Reconsider Travel to China” to “Do Not Travel.” Based on
this guidance and the Centers for Disease Control’s recommendations related
to the new strain of coronavirus, University System of Georgia and its
institutions will * NOT* approve travel to China effective immediately.



This includes spring semester study abroad, conferences and research.
Summer study abroad programs and travel should continue to be assessed with
contingency plans in case the current levels remain in place.



Further guidance will be distributed as circumstances dictate.



For details on the advisories, visit the State Department’s website
