More than two dozen University of Texas, Austin spring breakers tested positive for COVID-19 following a spring break trip to Mexico, university and Austin public health officials said.

UT Austin said that all 28 who tested positive are students at the school but that it could not confirm whether the entire group was made up of students. The city and the university contacted every spring breaker who went on the chartered plane after receiving the flight manifest from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and are closely monitoring them.

UT Austin, which has moved classes online amid the pandemic, told NBC News in a statement that the incident is a"reminder of the vital importance" of heeding public health warnings.Those in the cluster with confirmed cases are self-isolating, while many others are being tested and are under quarantine, the city said.
