As public health officials test two Miami University students for the coronavirus, other campuses in Ohio are staying vigilant.

Colleges in the state generally have a bigger international population than the general public.

At Kent State University, international students make up roughly 10 percent of the student population. Of those students, 300 of them are from China.

鈥淲e sent out communications to all of our students, not just international, but everybody and our faculty and staff earlier this week, letting them know what the virus is and how they can protect themselves where they can find more information,鈥� said university spokesman Eric Mansfield.

The university has been working closely with the Ohio Department of Health, Portage County health officials and city officials to safeguard the heath of the campus community, Mansfield said.

鈥淪o, like many universities, we鈥檙e on a 鈥榳atch and wait鈥� on this, and we鈥檙e as prepared as we can be,鈥� Mansfield said. 鈥淏ut the good news is we don鈥檛 yet, and hopefully we won鈥檛 have any suspected cases on our campuses.鈥�

Representatives from Case Western University and Cleveland State University also report no suspected cases and say they, too, are working with public health officials to safeguard the health of their campus community.

Both schools emailed all students and staff with information about coronavirus and symptoms to look for 鈥� particularly for those who鈥檝e travelled to China recently.  

The Cleveland State University email reminded the community that 鈥減ublic health officials describe the immediate health risk as low.鈥�
