According to KTVT-CBS 11 News, over 40 students from the University of Texas have reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus after going on a spring break trip to Mexico. Since Tuesday, the numbers have increased from 28 students, according to the Texas news source.
Officials reported that a group of 70 people in their 20s took a charter plane to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico almost two weeks ago. Some of them took commercial flights back to Texas, but at this time it is unclear if they tested positive. Those who have tested positive for the coronavirus are self-isolating while those that haven’t are under quarantine.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended for residents not to travel unless it is for essential traveling purposes.
“While Mexico at the time of their travel was not under a federal travel advisory, Austin-Travis County residents should follow CDC’s travel recommendations indicating travelers avoid all non-essential international travel. A leisure vacation of any kind is not considered essential,” officials said in a new statement.
