A student at the University of Delaware has tested negative for the coronavirus.

University officials say that the student is being released from the hospital and is doing well.

A second student is still awaiting results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that the Division of Public Health is monitoring 13 people who came back from China.

None have shown any symptoms.

The CDC says that for those returning from China after February 3 they should self-monitor for 14 days to see if any symptoms show up.

Signs of the disease range from fever and a cough to shortness of breath.

Most people experience mild cases.
