What should students do if they have flu-like symptoms or are diagnosed with H1N1 flu?
• If a student develops an influenza-like illness (ILI) or is diagnosed with H1N1 flu, he/she should self-isolate at home (leaving campus to return home is encouraged if private transportation is available) or in their residential hall space until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever, or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines. • Students with flu like illness should not walk in to the University Health Center for care. This will keep students with flu like illness away from students seeking care for other conditions. Review the advice on the University Health Center website and/or call the University Health Center with specific medical questions. • Students in a high risk group should contact the University Health Center at (518) 442-5229 to schedule an appointment. You should make it clear when calling that you are in a high risk group for influenza complications. High risk groups include: pregnant women and those with respiratory disease (asthma, COPD
