BYU announced via Twitter that the health department said the diagnosed individual had mild symptoms on Feb. 22 and that the risk of transmission to others in attendance is low.
As a precaution, those that were sitting within six feet of the individual are being contacted to be warned of possible exposure. Those who were out of the range of six feet do not need to take further action, according to the Utah County Health Department.
