The University of Tennessee's Center for Global Engagement has now suspended spring and summer 2020 education abroad programs to China and Korea amid the coronavirus outbreak.
UT currently has two students in Seoul, which is about 150 miles from the epicenter of the outbreak there. They are working with them to leave South Korea as soon as they complete their academic work.
They had previously canceled study abroad programs in China for the spring, impacting 21 students.
UT said in a statement that only one student was already in China when the decision was made, and they were well away from the Wuhan area.
School officials are working with the students affected.
University officials said they are closely monitoring the coronavirus outbreak in coordination with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Tennessee Department of Health, the Knox County Health Department, and international health safety and security agencies.
The CGE has posted a coronavirus advisory for faculty and staff who travel internationally.
