Hello Everyone,

We have received inquiries from many of you regarding concerns about the coronavirus. The University of Iowa and University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics are continuing to monitor the situation and guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control regarding the coronavirus outbreak. The respiratory illness was first identified in Wuhan, China. A case has also been diagnosed in Washington State. However, there’s no evidence yet of person-to-person transmission in the U.S.

For more information, see more information from your local and state health departments (https://idph.iowa.gov/Emerging-Health-Issues/Novel-Coronavirus) and the CDC (www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/index.html).

If you have any health-related concerns, please contact Student Health at student-health@uiowa.edu.
