The health, safety and security of our Fulbright participants is our highest priority. Amideast is working closely with the U.S. Department of State, U.S. host institutions, Fulbright Commissions, and U.S. Embassies in the MENA region to monitor developments related to the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and provide guidance to current Fulbright Foreign Students, nominees, and applicants. We will continue to monitor the outbreak and we are taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all Fulbrighters.

In a life-threatening emergency, you must first call 911 to report the emergency or incident and seek immediate assistance.

After you have called 911 to report the emergency and are safe, and during business hours, call your Amideast Program Officer or Program Assistant to report the situation.
