Hi Tom, Lidia is correct: the MSc fieldcourse to the Pyrenees is under review. And the decision RE: the undergraduate course was based on a joint consultation between the department and college, the latter having oversight of all fieldcourses (inc. non-Geoscience) in college.

We have so far cancelled an Italy MSc fieldtrip at department level, and are currently in discussion on what to do on our Spain fieldtrips in April/May, as well as advice for independent mapping student, as well as discussions with UCL senior management who will likely make further decisions soon. As the virus has a several week incubation period, there is an increased risk of us going away and somebody either catching the virus, or potentially taking it with them from London. Even if the area visited (e.g. Italy) has no local cases, the trip still will be going through two big airports. The issue, from a risk assessment point of view, is our ability to provide adequate support in the event of someone developing flu-like symptoms while we are there, and the burden this will put on fieldtrip staff and students (e.g. finding extended accommodation, paying for it, delaying travel etc). Nearly every undergraduate fieldtrip we run, one student comes down with a cold / flu, cough symptoms etc. The very rapid rise in cases means it is a credible possibility (even if it’s a low possibility ) that members of the group from a major central London university may already have the virus, which we needs to be explored thoroughly in a full risk assessment. When we do that, we found it hard to see a plausible mitigating course of action other than isolating them in hotel accommodation for the required 14 days, in the event we can’t readily get them tested. The logistics of doing that are not at all straightforward, and in doing so we could put other students/staff at risk (because we couldn’t leave the affected student/staff member alone). There is worry we may get trapped there in quarantine – we certainly wouldn’t be able to fly the student back if infected. Also concerns being discussed are about where the liability lands, should something happen. We can imagine the post field trip fallout with students and students family. Italy has closed schools and universities themselves, so you could foresee the reaction from a parent should a student go along and get infected. So – it’s very difficult on multiple levels!
