Members of the SU College Republicans also returned to campus after attending a conference in Maryland where a person who had coronavirus was present, College Republicans president Rody Conway said in a text message to the Daily Orange.Ten members of the SU College Republicans arrived at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland on Feb. 26 and departed Feb. 29, Conway said.

Although there was a person who had coronavirus at the event, SU did not contact members of the College Republicans afterwards, Conway said. The group is still allowed on Main Campus, he said.

“A couple of us have called various health centers including (the Barnes Center at The Arch), and they didn’t give us any information,” Conway said. “They just said to call back later.”

The College Republican members did not come into contact with the patient, and have shown no symptoms, Conway said. The event and hotel staff at the CPAC event also tested negative for the virus, he said.

“As of now, we’re just behaving normally…taking the same precautions as everybody else,” Conway said.
