Now that one member of a group of students who visited China is sick, a Pa. college is dealing with the possible threat of coronavirus.

The tense times are happening at Lafayette College in Easton Pa., where WFMZ-69 News reports the sickened student was still being evaluated for coronavirus as of Thursday.

UPDATE: The student did not test positive for coronavirus, officials announced.

The student, who was not identified, was hospitalized Monday with "very minor symptoms" for an evaluation of a respiratory virus, the college stated.

The sick student was among several students who had recently traveled to China and participated in health screenings when they returned to campus, the college’s statement said.

The college continues to monitor the health of all the students who traveled to China, where the virus broke out and has all-but paralyzed the world’s most populous country.

The sick student is said to be "good condition," and public health authorities have indicated there is a low risk to the campus, the college’s statement said.

WFMZ further reported the sick student is being treated at Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest, where "proper precautions were taken" and there was no exposure to patients, visitors, or staff, LVHN said.

The college said it is working with the state Department of Health to assess any additional risk to the college community should the student test positive for the virus. Those results were still pending.
