The emergence of novel coronavirus and COVID-19 is presenting unprecedented challenges for higher education. The stressful nature of this rapidly evolving situation affects students, faculty, families, parents, staff and patients. The health and safety of our campus community is priority one. As a parent myself, I especially want to assure our parents that UC San Diego is working closely with federal, state and local partners under the guidance of public health experts to monitor and address the changing situation.

Currently, there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus on the UC San Diego campus.
