The following statement has been issued on behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee:

UWM is carefully monitoring the coronavirus outbreak in China, in close consultation with local and state public health agencies.  Those agencies have not identified any confirmed or suspected coronavirus cases at UWM, nor any suspected exposures.

We are not aware of any students studying in or faculty working in China, although it is possible in a large university that a member of the campus community may travel without informing UWM.

The health of our students, faculty and staff is a top priority at UWM. The university will continue to monitor the situation and respond as needed.
