Aloha,<\/p>\n

Many of our faculty, staff and students are planning to travel during the upcoming spring break. While the university does not set requirements for personal travel, everyone is encouraged to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC<\/abbr>) COVID-19 travel guidelines.<\/p>\n

Everyone should postpone or cancel travel to high-risk (Level 3) countries, as designated by the CDC<\/abbr>, and consider the same for areas with active community transmission, including within the United States. Those with underlying health conditions should consider postponing or canceling any travel.<\/p>\n

If you travel to a CDC<\/abbr> Level 3 Travel Advisory country (China, Iran, South Korea and Italy), the university will be adhering to recommendations that you self-quarantine<\/a> for 14 days when you return and that you receive clearance from UH<\/abbr> officials before returning to campus.<\/p>\n
