BU has announced that they are officially discouraging all university-sponsored travel to China in an email to the community Feb. 19. The warning comes after the widespread outbreak of the coronavirus, which recently led to the cancellation of BU’s study abroad program in Shanghai.
Earlier this week, CVS Pharmacy on BU's East Campus ran out of surgical masks, according to signs posted on each door. While many students are taking personal precautions to stay healthy, such as purchasing surgical masks, the university is also taking steps to prevent disease spread.
Students enrolled in BU’s study abroad program at Fudan University in Shanghai received a notice Monday that their semester is postponed indefinitely in the wake of a coronavirus outbreak across China.
