Some universities in the United States are canceling their study programs in China and banning travel to the country because of the coronavirus outbreak. The travel restrictions also make it hard to plan for conferences and other university events that researchers from China might attend. “That door has been…closed for the immediate future,” said Michael Schoenfeld. He is vice president for public affairs and government relations at Duke University, in the state of North Carolina. U.S. government officials recently recommended that Americans avoid trips to China. Shortly after, many universities announced limits on travel to the country. This includes Duke University. The school has a partnership with Wuhan University, which is at the center of the outbreak. The Duke Kunshan University has shut down until February 24. Two of the 12 confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States are linked to college campuses.
