Travel Guidance Effective July 1 and Reimbursement Requirements

July 15, 2021

Earlier this month, the CDC changed its COVID rating levels for several countries and updated its guidance for Level 3 countries from “avoid nonessential travel to these countries” to “make sure you are fully vaccinated before traveling to these countries.”

Following this guidance, Harvard has updated its own travel guidance: For travel beginning July 1 or later, Harvard-affiliated persons who are fully vaccinated may engage in Harvard-related travel, without a petition, to countries rated Level 1, 2, or 3 for COVID by the CDC.

The COVID Travel and Reimbursement Guidance has been updated to reflect these changes as well as making updates to the FAQ.

This document can be found on the Harvard Travel Services website and will be updated as needed.

Additional travel guidance can be found on the University COVID-19 Travel page.
