How are students with flu-like symptoms being cared for?
Brown, like most residential colleges, does not have the capability or available housing to move large numbers of either sick or well students. Because of this, residential students who are unable to leave campus (to return home or to a relative’s home), will need to stay in their bedroom, suite, or apartment until they have recovered. This plan has been reviewed and approved by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) and is consistent with the guidelines RIDOH and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued. Sick students whose families live close enough to Brown to return home by car are encouraged to return home while they are ill; and to stay home until they have gone 24 hours without a fever, or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines. Use of public transportation while one is ill is discouraged. Students who cannot leave campus are asked to stay in their room while they recover and until they have been 24 hours without a fever
