The University of Wisconsin officials said that they have set plans in motion to do the same as their state counterparts.
“We’ve spent a lot of time over the last few days getting our (pandemic) plan reactivated, and we called together key campus leaders today,” said Sarah Van Orman, executive director of University Health Services.
Those campus leaders said that they’re encouraging the community to be vigilant about their health, especially in the densely populated residence halls. They remind that it has been weeks since many UW students hit Mexican beaches for spring break.
“We’ve had lots of good questions, calls from parents and other students,” said Van Orman. “We do know we had a lot of students who were traveling in Mexico over the spring break time, which was several weeks ago. So, we wouldn’t recommend any evaluation for those folks right now if they were to become ill other than we might ordinarily do.” (Second item.)
