Responding to Flu-like Symptoms

 If a medical professional recommends that you isolate for flu-like symptoms:

• Tell your RA.
• Fill out our self-reporting form.
• Return to your family home for isolation, if possible.
• Tell your roommate. 
• If isolating in your on-campus residence wear a mask to the bathroom, or when interacting with others.
• Contact your professor if you will miss class.  Student Health will not provide doctors’ notes to give to faculty if we have not seen you.

To request meal delivery:

• Ask a friend to take your ID to Sodexo for a take out meal, or order a sick sack at ext. 4499 for pickup.  If you have trouble finding someone to get your food, speak with your RA. 

If your roommate has been asked to isolate:

• Call Residence Life at ext. 4113 for a short-term relocation if desired.
• Clean your space, including door knobs and appliances, with a multipurpose cleaner such as Formula 409.

Tips for avoiding illness:

• Wash hands often with soap.
• Use antibacterial wipes to frequently clean room surfaces.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
• Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not your hand.
• Get a seasonal flu shot and H1N1 vaccine, once available.
