UConn's Office of Global Affairs, UConn Student Health and Wellness and UConn Health continue to closely monitor updates from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the federal government regarding COVID-19.

We are working in collaboration with our local and state departments of public health, and in constant communication with our students studying abroad.

To date, there are no suspected cases on any of our UConn campuses.

As students returned to our campuses at the start of spring semester, all individuals who presented to SHaW-Medical Care with fever and symptoms of a lower respiratory illness were screened for recent travel according to CDC guidelines, and we were prepared to care for any of our students who screened positive for a possible COVID-19 exposure.

We offered health checks for recent travelers and established a dedicated phone line to answer COVID-19-related questions and concerns. Throughout this time, the risk to our students from the COVID-19 virus remained extremely low.

The current risk of COVID-19 to UConn students is extremely low. However, our thoughts go out to our families, friends, and colleagues around the world for whom this is not the case.
