State Student Health Services. We're here today to talk about a hot topic on

campus, which is coronavirus of 2019. Symptoms of this coronavirus tend to be

respiratory symptoms, so coughing, shortness of breath with fever are the

major symptoms, and it can range anywhere from a mild cold-like symptoms to

something more severe, severe respiratory problems and breathing

difficulties. So right now, the biggest risk is for those people who have

traveled from China. Initially it was from the Hubei province

in China, but it has expanded as the outbreak has expanded throughout China.

So that's the biggest most important risk, either that or you have been in

direct contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the new coronavirus. The

best way to prevent coronavirus if you are in contact with an individual who

has it, is to use respiratory precautions, but also good hand-washing.

The things that we do for all other respiratory infections, like good

hand-washing. Cover your cough and stay home if you're sick. So the first thing

that we're doing and we have been doing since the middle of January is that we

are staying informed. So we are following the CDC website the W.H.O. website and we

have actually put up on the Student Health Service website a coronavirus tag

so that people can go and look at information about what we're doing here

on campus. So right now the risks to campus is very low. We do know that we

have had people who have returned from China who are now on campus and we're

again getting information out to them about what precautions to take, but the

risk is low right now on campus. The bigger risk is with influenza. We have

actually seen quite a few cases of influenza in student health and we hear

reports about students who have influenza who are trying their best to

stay healthy and keep going to classes, so we're recommending again that the

best thing to do is to wash your hands, cover your cough and stay away from

people when you're sick.
