Swine flu update (5-8-09)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 5-7-09 confirmed that a University of Florida student had H1N1 novel flu, commonly known as swine flu.

That student has fully recovered after showing only mild symptoms and has not been on campus in more than a week. In light of that and in concurrence with guidance provided by the CDC, the university plans no changes in its normal operating schedule. However, anyone who experiences flu-like symptoms or believes he or she may have the flu should contact a health care provider immediately and should not report to work or class, until medically cleared to do so.
