Presidential Proclamation Coronavarius Travel Ban + Tulane FAQs

Coronavirus FAQ Website
Greetings,

As you are already aware, on January 31, 2020, President Trump signed a Proclamation on Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons who Pose a Risk of Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus. The proclamation suspends entry into the United States of all aliens (immigrants, nonimmigrants, and other non U.S. citizens) who were physically present within the People's Republic of China, excluding the Special Autonomous Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States. This coronavirus travel ban went into effect on Sunday, February 2, 2020.

Section 2 of the proclamation provides that the coronavirus travel ban does not apply to any alien who is:
  1. A lawful permanent resident of the United States
  2. A spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident
  3. A parent or legal guardian of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, provided that the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident is unmarried and under the age of 21;
  4. A sibling of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, provided that both are unmarried and under the age of 21;
  5. A child, foster child, or ward of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or who is a prospective adoptee seeking to enter the United States pursuant to the IR-4 or IH-4 visa classifications;
  6. An alien traveling at the invitation of the United States Government for a purpose related to containment or mitigation of the virus.

If you plan on traveling to China in the next month or two or have family members who would like to travel to the United States soon, please reach out to the OISS at +1-504-865-5208 or oiss@tulane.edu. We invite you to learn more about the Coronavirus and Tulane’s response by visiting this FAQ website.

We hope that you have not been personally impacted by the 2019-nCoV.  All of us at the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) are thinking of you.

Best wishes,
