Students & Employees: Personal & University-Related Travel
The U.S. Department of State issued a Level 4 travel advisory (“do not travel”) for all international travel and advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19.
In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period.
U.S. citizens who live abroad should avoid all international travel. Many countries are experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks and implementing travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines, closing borders, and prohibiting non-citizens from entry with little advance notice.
We strongly recommend that members of the USC community postpone non-essential personal travel at this time.
Students who have recently returned from travel abroad should self-isolate for 14 days. Call 213-740-9355 (WELL) or make an appointment online at usc.edu/myshr if you develop respiratory symptoms (cough, fever, difficulty breathing, congestion.)
