The University on April 30 lifted its travel moratorium for Vietnam and Toronto, Canada, based on travel advice from the World Health Organization (WHO). Harvard’s moratorium on travel to China, including Hong Kong, and Taiwan remains in effect, based on the latest information about SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) from the WHO and the CDC.
