Campus community,

With news spreading about the Coronavirus, I want to share some information the Virginia Department of Health relayed from the Centers for Disease Control below. There were two suspected cases reported in Central Virginia last week, but both have been tested and were negative for the Coronavirus.

Right now there is no cause for alarm at Longwood and no suspected cases have been reported. We know of no one in the campus community who has traveled to Wuhan. The incubation period on this virus is believed to be 2-14 days. As with any virus, practicing good hygiene can help prevent its spread, including:
· Washing your hands often for at least 20 seconds
· Avoid touching your mouth, eyes, and nose with unwashed hands
· Avoid close contact with people who are sick
· Stay home when you are sick
· Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then discard the tissue
· Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces like doorknobs

The University Health Center is still offering flu shots to students, faculty, and staff. Longwood community members can walk into the health center without an appointment for the flu vaccine.
