Dear Students and Families:
Last week, New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that individuals traveling to New York from eight states experiencing high infection rates of COVID-19 are required to self-quarantine for 14 days. Yesterday, Gov. Cuomo announced that he is adding eight other states to the order. Currently, impacted states are Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. It’s possible this list will continue to evolve.
We are working closely with state officials to better understand the effect of this order, how long it may remain in effect, and what, if any, impact it will have on our students arriving on campus in August. We will have more information to share once state officials provide additional detail concerning implementation of this new policy. We will update our students and families as we receive new information.
We recognize the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create many uncertainties. Please continue to visit Syracuse.edu/fall2020 for the most up-to-date information.
Regards,Amanda Nicholson
Interim Deputy Senior Vice President
