Miami is currently investigating if a pair of students who recently went to China came down with the virus.
One of the students is said to have shown some potential symptoms.
Thus far, coronavirus has killed more than 100 people in China.
Despite that, the Center for Disease and Control insists the threat to America is low.
This week, multiple cases of coronavirus were identified in the United States.
America now joins Germany, Australia, France, Singapore, Japan and Canada in having live cases of the virus.
