What do I do if I have travel plans?

LSUHSC

In the event that you elect to do personal travel, the State is requiring that you notify your supervisor before you travel. We also require you to provide information on our Travel Registration website, accessible here. You must complete Prior Travel Registration before you travel and Return Travel Registration upon your return. Travel will be evaluated, and where warranted, any special instructions to be followed prior to your return to campus will be communicated. Because the spread of the virus is so unpredictable, this applies to all travel, including personal trips, domestic and international.

To protect our LSU Health family, patients and our community, we need to do all we can to prevent further transmission of SARS-CoV-2. In accordance with current guidance, those who travel to places with sustained local transmission will be required to self-isolate for a minimum 14-day period before returning to campus. These areas not only include foreign countries such as Italy and South Korea, but also now include cities in Washington State, California, Oregon, New York and others. If you have travelled to any high risk area, you will not be allowed to return to classes without a satisfactory period of quarantine! Those are some of the current hotspots, but over the coming days and weeks, almost anywhere else may become one.

The situation is rapidly evolving, and we will keep you updated as we get new information and determine our response
