The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined that COVID-19
meets the definition for “severe acute respiratory syndromes” set forth in Executive Order

“quarantinable communicable disease,” as defined by E.O. 13295, as amended by E.O.s
13375 and 13674. Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the
COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, outbreak a Public Health Emergency of
International Concern.
The impact of this virus has caused multiple states and cities within the United States
(U.S.) to take action by reducing or limiting public gatherings, which includes the closure
of schools, colleges and universities in most locations. These closures may impact student
learning and schedules on Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 141 pilot
