NY Coronavirus: Bringing Back 300 CUNY, SUNY Students Abroad [View all]
ALBANY, NY — Students at SUNY and CUNY schools who are studying abroad in China, Iran, Italy, Japan or South Korea, where coronavirus outbreaks are most widespread, will be brought back to New York. They'll be quarantined for 14 days, state officials said Wednesday morning.
The students will be flown on a charter plane into Stewart Airport in Orange County, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news briefing in Albany.
About 300 students will be brought back. They'll be quarantined in dormitories where there is excess capacity, state officials said. Those dorms identified so far are on Long Island, in Western New York and in the Utica-Rome area.
Cuomo made the announcement before heading to Westchester County to meet with local officials about the outbreak there. The wife and two children of the New Rochelle attorney in serious condition with coronavirus, plus the neighbor who drove him to the hospital, have all tested positive, the governor said.
