Currently there are no restrictions regarding any travel domestically within the United States. For those traveling \, we will continue to monitor the virus and follow the guidance of the US State Department, WHO, & the CDC. We will remain in contact with our Group Leaders. The safety and security of our student and adult travelers is our top priority and we will not send tour groups to destinations that are deemed unsafe by government authorities.
General health information to share with all travelers (students and adults):
The CDC has released a list of preventative measures anyone can take to avoid contracting and spreading an illness.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- In addition to the information above, Hemisphere strongly recommends that each traveler brings their own hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes so they may wipe down all common surfaces, including the motorcoach and airline armrests. If your group is flying, please note the hand sanitizer container must be in a 3-ounce container or smaller to meet the TSA security measures.
If you would like additional information, we recommend visiting the websites of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Prevention and the World Health Organization.
