More than two dozen students from the University of Texas have tested positive for the coronavirus after they disregarded public health warnings by going on a spring break trip.

Approximately two weeks ago, about 70 University of Texas at Austin students chartered a flight to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. While such a trip was not under a federal travel advisory at the time of their departure, health officials were recommending people avoid nonessential international travel. Some members of the group returned home on commercial airlines.
