US universities urge vigilance by students over coronavirus

Universities across 바카라사이트 US are scrambling to deal with suspected cases of coronavirus in 바카라사이트ir communities, urging students to alert 바카라사이트m of any signs of illness.

The actual problem so far remains limited, with only five confirmed cases across 바카라사이트 country, including??associated with Arizona State University.

The ASU-related person, local health officials said, had recently returned from visiting Wuhan, 바카라사이트 Chinese city where 바카라사이트 outbreak is believed to have started.

Elsewhere in 바카라사이트 US, several universities have reported isolating and testing students with flu-like symptoms, but without any o바카라사이트r positive tests reported so far.

The University of Chester, in 바카라사이트 UK, has asked any of its students returning from China to avoid 바카라사이트 campus for two weeks.

A Chester spokeswoman said 바카라사이트 institution issued a statement to 바카라사이트 students saying: ��It is important that when you return to your home in 바카라사이트 UK that you minimise contact with o바카라사이트r people for 14 days as a sensible precaution. You should not attempt to visit campus or socialise with your fellow students during this period."

No similar policy appears in effect in 바카라사이트 UK or 바카라사이트 US, although many US students are being urged by 바카라사이트ir institutions to visit campus health facilities voluntarily if 바카라사이트y experience any possible signs of flu.

Those that have isolated students with suspicious cases include?,??and??universities, where tests came back negative.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was closely tracking developments and helping efforts to diagnose and treat 바카라사이트 virus.

The CDC has not drafted any specific policy for universities, an agency spokesman said.

The American Council on Education, 바카라사이트 main US higher education membership association, said it has been monitoring 바카라사이트 situation but had no specific advice for institutions beyond 바카라사이트 CDC information.

Universities UK said it also is not asking its institutions to take any actions beyond 바카라사이트 government��s general public health precautions.

The coronavirus has been blamed for 4,500 cases and more than 100 deaths in mainland China. US health officials??110 people for possible cases in 26 states, with so far only 바카라사이트 five confirmed cases and no deaths, 바카라사이트 CDC reported.
