Dundee University is monitoring students from Wuhan University in case they display signs of the deadly coronavirus.
The disease has killed 17 people and infected dozens more since the outbreak began in the Hubei province, of which Wuhan is the capital, in China at the end of last month.
Four travellers to Scotland from China are currently being treated in hospital after developing flu-like symptoms.
Three cases are in Edinburgh and the other is believed to be in Glasgow.
Tests are currently being carried out and none of the patients have been confirmed as having the disease.
They all travelled to Scotland from Wuhan, where the outbreak is thought to have originated, within the past two weeks and are showing symptoms of respiratory trouble, a red flag for the virus
There are currently 34 students from Wuhan studying architecture at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, part of Dundee University.
A spokesman for the university said no health concerns have been raised among the students, or from five staff members who travelled back to Dundee from China last week.
He said: “Yesterday, Wednesday January 22, we issued advice to all of our students and staff regarding the coronavirus outbreak, to the effect that anyone who has been in China, or other areas where incidents of infection have been reported, within the last 14 days, and is experiencing respiratory symptoms, should contact their GP or NHS 24 by telephone.
“We have also advised that people should be careful if receiving packages from areas where the virus is present, especially if a package contains food items.
“We have 900 current students on campus who come from China. 104 of those students matriculated in January and there are another 48 due to arrive this month or February.”
He added: “We have a joint education partnership with Wuhan University, one of the top higher education institutions in China, through which students from Wuhan complete the final year of their architecture degree at Dundee, with many opting to remain at Dundee for a further year to obtain their Masters qualification.
“There are currently 34 students from the programme in Dundee, having arrived in September 2019. There have been no health concerns raised among that group but we will continue to monitor the situation closely.
“Five staff returned from a visit to Wuhan last week. Again, no health concerns have been raised at this time.
“We will continue to monitor the situation taking advice from the relevant agencies as to appropriate action.”
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said the Scottish Government is also “closely monitoring” a virus which has spread from China.
She was asked at First Minister’s Questions by SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson about the steps being taken to ensure the safety of Scots after the disease killed 17 people and infected nearly 600.
It is believed the disease, known as coronavirus, emanated from a market in the Chinese city of Wuhan, which has an international airport connecting to 60 destinations across the world.
The First Minister said: “We are very closely monitoring what is a very rapidly evolving situation.
“I should say, that the risk to the public here in Scotland – and indeed the UK – is currently classified as low but that is kept under review.
“Health Protection Scotland are liaising with NHS boards and are currently in daily contact with Public Health England, we’re also liaising daily with colleagues in the UK Department of Health – we’re also paying very close attention to the advice and the decisions that come from the World Health Organisation.”
The Chinese Government has quarantined Wuhan, with planes and trains out of the city cancelled, along with the nearby city of Huanggang.
