Walsh University latest college to recall students from Italy due to coronavirus crisis (OH)

Posted: 4:37 PM, Mar 01, 2020

NORTH CANTON, Ohio — Walsh University is now among the several universities in Ohio making arraignments to bring their students studying abroad in Italy back to the United States due to the rapidly developing coronavirus COVID-19 crisis in the country.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s rise to a Level 3 Travel Health Notice sparked Walsh University’s decision to begin making travel arraignments for all of the students studying at a campus outside of Rome, Italy to return to the United States.

The students were scheduled to study abroad in Italy for eight weeks, but after a single week abroad, they will return due to the coronavirus outbreak.

~Snip~ The students at Walsh University who were studying in Rome, Italy have been advised to remain off campus to self-monitor for 14 days as a precautionary measure.

From everything that I've read here and from other reputable sources, it seems as though self monitoring should be a bit longer than 14 days. From what I understand, some exhibit symptoms after 14 days.

Thoughts?
