COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A Tennessee Tech student is being tested for possible infection with coronavirus.

According to university officials, the student had mild symptoms and with his recent travel history, he is being tested for the virus.

Officials said the patient met the criteria for the test but nothing has been confirmed. According to a release, the student is being isolated while the testing is conducted.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, some of which cause the common cold. Others have evolved into more severe illnesses, such as SARS and MERS, although so far the new virus does not appear to be nearly as deadly or contagious.
