[PennState] University Bans All Travel To China, South Korea & Cancels Course Trips To Italy, Japan Due To Coronavirus
All university-affiliated travel to China and South Korea is prohibited for students, while short-term, faculty-led programs in Italy and Japan, which may include trips over spring break, have been canceled due to “logistical disruptions and limited travel availability.” University-affiliated travel to China and South Korea for faculty and staff is “strongly discouraged” and would require Provost/University Risk Officer approval.
Penn State also canceled an embedded course in Vietnam due to flights that would take students through South Korea.
Students studying abroad for the semester in Italy and Japan can still stay there for the time being, per recommendations from global health agencies.
