News and Announcements
H1N1 Flu Update: Members of the University of Arizona Campus Emergency Response Team have reviewed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) travel advisory from May 15, 2009. In that update, the CDC has downgraded its travel advisory from a "Travel Health Warning" to a "Travel Health Precaution," which includes removing the recommendation against non-essential travel to Mexico. The UA-CERT Policy Group has decided to continue to follow its practice of having UA travel recommendations conform to the recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and will now allow all University related travel to Mexico. For up to date information, please visit the CERT website.
