The UGA Office of International Education sent this email out today regarding student travel and the swine flu outbreak:

From: Study Abroad Faculty Coord.’s [mailto:FACSA-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Kasee Laster
Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 2:40 PM
To: FACSA-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU
Subject: how many countries are responding to the flu

The BBC has posted a list of how many countries are responding to the
flu (thanks to study abroad advisor Kornelia Probst-Mackowiak, who sent
me this link).

The amount of detail provided on each country varies, but I thought this
might be a useful resource. You will note that some countries to which
UGA study abroad programs travel have instituted thermal screening and
other airport-based precautions, so if such is indicated for your
destination, you may wish to prepare yourselves and your students, allow
more time than usual for clearing customs and immigration, etc.
