Pandemic Planning and Response

H1N1 is on Campus. As expected H1N1 cases are now being reported on campus, and we should not be surprised if cases come through in "waves." These waves may coincide with academic milestones such as midterms, etc., when students often do not maintain good health habits (e.g., not enough sleep) or may have higher stress levels. Stay Informed, Adopt Prudent Health Practices, and Use this Web Site as a clearinghouse/link to H1N1 updates and information, as well as what you should do if you start to exhibit flu-like symptoms (briefly … stay in bed and rest!). 

H1N1: SEVERITY AND TRANSMISSIBILITY

You Can Take Simple Steps to Stay Healthy, but Stay Home if You Get the Flu. We can take concrete steps to actually keep people from getting sick and reduce the peak number of cases at any given time. However, if you do exhibit flu-like symptoms then stay home from work until you have recovered to avoid infecting others.
