Swine Flu Advisory

We're monitoring the effects of swine flu on MU study abroad participants. Currently, no participants (students, staff and faculty) have contracted this virus.

This is a fast emerging issue. The EU Health Commissioner has advised EU residents to avoid all but urgent travel to Mexico and the United States. Authorities in Hong Kong are implementing tough travel restrictions. However, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention argues that, at this point, US travel warnings are unwarranted.

We'll post updates as warranted here. In the meantime, stay informed by following the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Swine Flu site, and at the World Health Organization
