Owing to the current health issues in many countries, colleagues going overseas for business travel are reminded to re-assess their trip before travel and take into consideration any potential health risks in the country they will be visiting by:

• Checking the latest Foreign & Commonwealth Office 
• Following the Public Health England guidance
• Reading the University's guidance

Colleagues should also follow the University’s Travel Policy and consider their own personal circumstances, such as any pre-existing health conditions.   If there is any significant change in risks, the travel plan must be discussed and re-approved by line managers before travel, taking into account the risks involved against the benefit of the trip.
