Currently there are no cases at the University of Arizona.

Global health officials are investigating an outbreak of a novel coronavirus, now referred to as COVID-19.

At present, there are more than 189,000 confirmed cases and over 7,500 deaths attributed to the virus.  A total of 85 fatalities and over 5,068 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the United States. 

While the current risk is low in Pima County, we should use this time to plan and prepare for COVID-19, according to the CDC.

TRAVEL

University-Sponsored Travel

All non-essential university-sponsored travel has been suspended until further notice.

 Travel deemed to be essential by University of Arizona College Deans or Vice Provosts will need to be reviewed by the International Travel Safety Oversight Committee and approved by the Office of the Provost prior to departure.

 U.S. citizens and permanent residents returning to the United States after visiting a country listed by the Center for Disease Control & Prevention as a CDC Level 3 destination will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days following their return to the United States. Foreign nationals may be barred entry back into the United States.

Travelers should:

  • Avoid all nonessential travel
  • Avoid all connecting flights in countries listed as Level 3 by the CDC.
  • Research country-specific travel recommendations prior to international travel, as many countries have barred entry by all foreign nationals until further notice due to COVID-19.
  • Do not travel by cruise ship at this time, according to the U.S. State Department.
  • Avoid contact with sick people.
  • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Avoid animals (alive or dead), animal markets, and products that come from animals (such as uncooked meat).
