Holiday travel protocols
In response to the spike in the new coronavirus cases in the region and the nation, the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia all imposed new health and safety measures last week. These include restrictions on travel. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also has issued guidelines about holiday gatherings. Their guidelines are meant to supplement local and state laws, regulations, and guidelines.
We want to remind you that over the Thanksgiving holiday break, it is very important to limit physical exposure to people outside of your household. We strongly suggest community members avoid traveling to states with a high rate of COVID-19 or host out-of-state visitors from high risk states. CDC maintains a list of state websites with current information.
If you decide to travel or host out-of-state guests, please note that the following is required, prior to returning to campus:
