Dear Members of the SLU Community,
The status of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to be top of mind for many in our community.
SLU-Sponsored Travel:Effective immediately, the University is suspending all SLU-sponsored travel to countries that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identifies asaLevel 3 Travel Health Notice. The CDC鈥檚 list of countries is subject to change, but currently includes China, Iran, Italy and South Korea. This decision was informed by our shared focus on the greater community over any single individual.
Non-Essential Travel:In light of the upcoming spring break, the Universitystrongly encourages SLU faculty, staff and students to share all travel plansfor at least the next month. We expect this travel information will help us communicate on short notice, should the need arise.
If you choose to travel to or return from a country with a CDC Level-3 Health Notice, the University willrequire you to isolate yourself at your home for 14 daysbefore returning to campus.
This travel guidance applies to all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff with additional questions should contact Human Resources at 314-977-2595 orhr@slu.edu. Students should contact the Dean of Students at 314-977-9378 ordeanofstudents@slu.edu.
