Thats a bit wrong. MIT employees can still travel internationally, just
not on MIT Business http://web.mit.edu/covid19/. That links says its due
to guidance just for for universities by MA state government, which says
that university sponsored travel like study abroad have special
logistical concerns.

Luckily, I don't see this news affecting LP. (Don't consider
this to be any official statement, just my personal opinion.)
