Two Boston College students, one who had been studying abroad in the United Kingdom and one who had been studying in Ireland, have confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, according to an email sent to BC students studying abroad from Office of International Programs Director Nick Gozik, the BC Heights reports.

It’s in the story’s third paragraph, but an important detail (emphasis mine):
“The two confirmed cases involve students ***who returned directly home from Europe***, according to the email. They were tested by their local health authorities, and they are now self-isolating and receiving care.”
In other words, they were not on the BC campus after leaving Europe.
