Both had been traveling internationally, developed symptoms while self-isolating at home and had been away from campus for weeks, Eighmy said in a statement posted to the university’s Facebook page. Both are still home and “doing okay,” he said, wishing them a speedy recovery.
“The unfortunate reality is, in the days ahead, we will all likely know colleagues or fellow students who are fighting the coronavirus,” Eighmy said.
