All persons who may have been in contact with these students have been notified and health officials are monitoring the situation. Officials say there are no additional precautions required for the public.
Medical Director for the Sindecuse Health Center Gayle Ruggiero says there may be other members of the campus community who have developed symptoms or are being treated or tested in other locations, but these are the only three cases of which they are aware of.
