But the rapidly changing pool of information about the epidemic means that the travel moratorium could be lifted at any time, if the incidence of new cases or fatality rates decline, said David S. Rosenthal ’59, director of Harvard University Health Services (UHS).
“We’ve been a little bit more firm with our decision today, but this could change in a week,” Rosenthal said.
Concerns about the contagiousness of the disease also motivated the decision to impose the moratorium on University-sponsored travel, Rosenthal said.
“We live in a very close community and infections can spread very rapidly,” Rosenthal said.
Those returning from affected areas may also be asked to stay home for a 10-day period before returning to campus and class to ensure they exhibit no symptoms of the disease, Rosenthal said.
