The incubation period for the Coronavirus is two weeks. Students, faculty, or staff who have traveled to or from areas with increased risk more than two weeks ago and are not ill have no cause for concern. Individuals who have traveled to areas with increased spread of the virus, or who believe they may have been in contact with an infected person, should monitor their health and contact their primary care physician or local hospital. Practice basic respiratory and hand hygiene, and stay home until you are recovered.
If you develop a fever and symptoms of respiratory illness such as a cough or shortness of breath within 14 days after travel to areas of increased spread of the virus, you should call a healthcare professional and cite your recent history. If you have had close contact with someone showing these symptoms who has recently traveled from one of the affected areas, you should also call a healthcare professional and cite their recent travel. Individuals should follow the advice of healthcare professionals with respect to their specific situation.
If you know a student who has flu-like symptoms, encourage them to contact their primary care physician or local hospital to seek advice and care.
