Delta Star has suspended all air travel until April 13. All other forms of  travel require approval from a manager and an executive.

Delta Star employees who have personal plans to travel to affected areas in the U.S. are being asked to reconsider their travel.

As a reminder, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. In the absence of soap and water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizing wipes or gels that contain at least 60% alcohol.
