The university is calling off classes for a week after students return. Then, starting March 30, students will be offered online instruction or other alternative learning options. The university is telling students to take essential items with them when they leave. Officials say as of Tuesday, West Virginia has tested five people for the virus, with three negative results and two tests pending.
