The emergence of the novel coronavirus in China and its spread to other parts of the world has generated a great deal of news and questions over the last few weeks. This situation has been evolving rapidly, and university leaders have been working closely with public health officials and the University of Nebraska Medical Center to monitor developments that might impact the health and safety of members of our campus community.
I want to especially speak to the members of our university community from China who may be concerned for the safety of family and friends. We understand this is a very difficult time to be away from loved ones, and your UNL family is here to support you as our students, faculty and staff.
