From OGACHI: Duke International Travel Policy Changes

From the Office of Global and Community Health Initiatives...

  • Changes to Restricted Regions List
    • In its regular Spring meeting held on Friday, March 11, 2016, the Global Travel Advisory Committee (GTAC) reviewed all destinations currently on Duke’s Restricted Regions List.  GTAC also reviewed several petitions from undergraduate students for waivers of restrictions for summer travel and reviewed up-to-date information on several countries it held on a ‘watch list’ as the security situation in these destinations has been shifting over the last few months.

  Effective March 15, 2016, Provost Sally Kornbluth, based on the recommendations of GTAC, has modified the status of restrictions for the following countries:

      1. Bangladesh – add “full country restriction”
      2. Guinea – modify restriction from “full country” to “border areas with Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ivory Coast”
      3. Kenya – modify restriction from “Nairobi, Mombasa and border regions” to “Mombasa and border regions”
      4. Nepal – modify restriction from “full country” to “Terai Region”
      5. Peru – add restriction to “border area with Colombia”
      6. Sierra Leone – remove restriction
