Thirty students and three teachers from the Palm Beach Gardens campus of The Benjamin School may have been exposed to coronavirus at a weekend conference.

Thirty high school students in Palm Beach County have been told to stay home because they may have been exposed to coronavirus at a weekend conference.

The group had attended a Model United Nations event at Yale University in Connecticut that was cut short when the university notified participants that a student from China with a cough and fever had been taken to Yale New Haven Hospital. The Chinese student tested positive for influenza and has been isolated while awaiting test results for coronavirus.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, symptoms of coronavirus show up two to 14 days after exposure to the virus.
