Quickshare: COVID-19/Conornavirus

Following expert guidance and as a preventative measure designed to limit exposure to locations with community spread of COVID-19, we have also made the decision to cancel all school-sponsored domestic travel with a departure date on or before March 30. This cancellation applies to all travel, regardless of travel method and includes out-of-state athletic activities. We have also cancelled all school-sponsored international travel through the end of April; this includes all international trips with a departure date on or before Thursday, April 30. 

Because this situation is progressing rapidly, this cancellation includes all countries regardless of whether they are on the CDC’s list of high-risk locations. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices

• If you have travel plans to impacted cities and states, please self-report by phone or email to me. 
• Take your temperature with a thermometer two times a day and monitor for fever. Also watch for cough or trouble breathing. If you have symptoms, consult your healthcare provider and/or the Tulsa Health Department at 918-582-9355.

For parents, students, and families traveling internationally for personal business:
