Penn’s latest update on coronavirus
We are writing to keep you updated on new developments in our response to the global outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

These mitigation practices must prudently limit travel as well as gatherings of large groups and occasions involving extended amounts of time in close proximity.

After consulting with the Provost, gauging preliminary thinking on the part of colleagues at other institutions, and monitoring preventative measures related to coronavirus (COVID-19), Penn Admissions has made the decision to cancel all large-scale, on-campus admitted student programming scheduled for April.

Planning to travel over spring break?
Spring Break is imminent, and I know many families are debating students’ travel plans in light of the fast-evolving global coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Yesterday, Penn advised all community members against travel to China, Italy, Iran, and South Korea. Any student visiting these countries must self-isolate for two weeks upon return, missing class and assignments. Amid this uncertainty, any travel, domestic or international, could heighten your risk of exposure. If conditions change in a location you visit over break, you may incur travel delays and mandatory quarantines.
