Dear Campus Community,

Last week, health officials confirmed that a Humboldt County resident contracted the respiratory illness known as the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), which originated in Wuhan, China.

The individual is doing well and self-isolating at home and officials have been reaching out to those who may have been in contact with the person. Health officials say the risk of contracting COVID-19 remains low for the community.

NOTE: The following is information sent from the California State University Chancellor’s Office. There have been no reported coronavirus cases at Humboldt State University, and there are no HSU students, faculty, or staff studying or working in China. There are also no planned study abroad or recruitment trips to China.

Please be aware that the State Department has raised the threat level for travel to China to level 4. Effective immediately, travel to the entire country of China is not authorized.
