US Universities Watching for Coronavirus

Kathleen Struck

   At Arizona State University, which hosts more than 13,300 international
   students, people are wearing face masks and petitioning the school to
   cancel classes after the [1]coronavirus was diagnosed in someone at the
   university who had recently returned from China.

   "From stores selling out of surgical masks to students calling for
   class cancellations, the 2019 novel coronavirus has taken ASU by storm
   since Sunday's announcement that a member of the community was infected
   with the viral illness," [2]wrote the student newspaper, The State
   Press.

   While a planeload of Americans flown from China to the U.S. is being
   held at a California airbase for three days before they will be allowed
   to proceed into the country -- and advised to stay for 14 to ensure
   they are not carrying the virus -- international students have been
   flocking back to U.S. universities for the past two weeks with no
   barrier to entry.
