Boise State University will hold a campus-wide emergency exercise Friday to prepare for the possible arrival of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
BSU says it will engage in an exercise this Friday, the 13th, to help the school prepare for any emergency, including natural disaster, extreme weather, and – on the advisement of the IDHW, CDC and CDHD – for the potential arrival of the coronavirus.
CBS 2 News reports there are no confirmed cases of the virus in Idaho currently, and state health officials continue to state the individual risk remains low.
But BSU stated “It is both prudent and vital for the university to prepare for this and other unexpected events that could force us to change our day-to-day operations for extended periods of time,”
All university courses will be delivered online this Friday (the 13th).
