Dear Students, Scholars, and Employees:
We are closely following the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and wanted to reach out to you with updates regarding current restrictions impacting travelers to the United States.
Effective Monday, March 16, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. eastern daylight time, the entry into the United States of any foreign national (except immediate family members of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents and others excluded in section 2 of the Presidential Proclamation) who was physically present within the United Kingdom (excluding overseas territories outside of Europe) or Ireland during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States is suspended. Note that the entry suspension proclamation does not apply to persons aboard a flight scheduled to arrive in the United States that departed prior to 11:59 p.m. eastern daylight time on March 16, 2020.
In addition to this, the previously announced travel suspensions for any foreign national (except immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents and others excluded in section 2 of the proclamations) who was physically present within Iran, the European Schengen Area, or China (excluding the Special Autonomous Regions of Hong Kong and Macau) during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States continue to be implemented until further notice.
BIO remains committed to supporting our international community during these challenging times, and we will provide additional updates as new information unfolds. Please continue to review updates, resources and Frequently Asked Questions on our Coronavirus Updates & FAQ page.
