It is making life more complicated for those of us with children studying abroad this spring. My daughter has tickets for a week break to go to Milan and Venice in 3 weeks, but just today I persuaded her to change her destinations.

Quote:Stanford students currently studying abroad in Florence will have to return home before the start of next week, the Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP) announced to program students Tuesday, as Italy’s coronavirus outbreak became the worst outside Asia.
A decision on the spring program has not yet been made, the announcement said, but Stanford will “continue to actively monitor the developing system” and make a decision by March 20. Students enrolled in the spring program are currently set to arrive on March 26.
