The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is the primary resource for up-to-date information on all diseases and biological threats. CDC information about this virus is available at About 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
The U.S. Department of State issues and updates Travel Advisories for countries around the world. You may wish to visit their website at travel.state.gov.

Please be aware that some countries are imposing travel restrictions that could impact programs that have no direct connection to locations with COVID-19 cases.
