UTSA has announced a faculty member and a student have been diagnosed with coronavirus. UTSA President Taylor Eighmy says the two cases are separate and both the faculty member and student have been away from campus for weeks.
Eighmy said, "both were traveling internationally and developed symptoms while they were self-isolating at home."
Eighmy said that federal privacy laws prevent the university from giving more information other than to say that both the faculty member and student are quarantining at home under a doctor's care and both are doing okay.
"The unfortunate reality is, in the days ahead, we will likely know colleagues or fellow students who are fighting coronavirus. My thoughts are with the entire Roadrunner community during these challenging times," said Eighmy.
