"Hi Sarah,

I've been asked by the Vice President, Robin Kaufman, to ask you not to visit campus for at least a week after returning from Mexico. Since Mexico City is still largely closed this week, and since the incubation period can be up to a week, the campus wants to make sure that you are in good health before having you on campus. I hope you understand. Hope all is well,

[my study abroad adviser]"

today I got my nostrils swabbed to check for the flu. it will probably come back negative, in which case the sample won't be sent to the state health department (since I feel fine).

It is necessary to mention that there are more confirmed cases in New York City (population: 8 million people) then in Mexico City (population: 22 million people).
