Confirmation testing will be done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The sample is expected to arrive by Friday morning and should be completed within 24 hours, according to Dr. Eric Wilke, with the Brazos County Health Department.
Wilke said the patient was a student at Texas A&M University, that the student population was at a low risk for exposure. Wilke added that it was safe for students to attend classes. Students who have questions or concerns, can contact A&M’s Student Health Services at info@shs.tamu.edu or on its Facebook page.

Should the case be confirmed coronavirus, detailed contact tracing will begin to identify the path the person took home from China as well as to identify others who may be at risk of exposure and infection.
