University officials continue to closely monitor the Ebola crisis currently involving the West African region. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. State Department have travel warnings in place for some specific areas, and Medical Director of Georgia Southern University Health Services Brian DeLoach, M.D., weighs in:

In accordance with federal warnings, students, faculty, and staff traveling over break are strongly advised to avoid travel to Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Mali. However, if you must travel to one of these countries, or if you interact with individuals or family members who have traveled from one of these countries, you should notify Georgia Southern University Student Health Services immediately upon returning to campus. Please monitor CDC travel warnings and apply this message to all countries to which CDC has posted travel warnings or alerts due to the Ebola crisis.

More information for travelers can be found by visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
