UW suspends South Korea study abroad program over coronavirus fears

As the coronavirus continues to spread, the University of Wisconsin canceled its study abroad program to South Korea for the coming Spring semester.

A UW spokesperson, John Lucas, told NBC15 the university’s Vice Provost and Dean of the International Division made the call after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised its Warning Level to 3, which warns people to avoid nonessential travel to the Asian nation.
