What’s being done to minimize risk of on-campus transmission of flu?
We have instituted policies of excluding sick persons from work/class until they have been fever-free for 24 hours, and thus no longer highly contagious, per CDC recommendations. Signs are posted throughout campus reminding students, faculty and staff to practice good hand hygiene and cough etiquette practices. Hand sanitizing stations have been installed in residence halls, dining facilities and academic buildings throughout the campus. Remind your student of good health etiquette: wash hands frequently, cover coughs or sneezes etc.
