Brescia University is closely monitoring the novel coronavirus (referred to here at COVID-19) that was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, 中国.  This virus has spread to several countries, including the United States, and to many states within the country, 包括肯塔基州.  As the Brescia community is effected by this virus, resources and updates will be made available on this page and updated frequently as the situation evolves.
