 Subject: Swine Flu Advisory

Swine flu advisory


Public health officials on campus and throughout the world are 
investigating outbreaks of swine influenza - commonly known as swine flu.


The outbreak is ongoing and additional cases are expected.


The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of 
seasonal flu in humans and may include fever of greater than 100 degrees 
F, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, chills, headache and body aches, and 
fatigue.


To prevent the spread of swine flu, avoid contact with ill persons; when 
you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your 
sleeve (if you don?t have a tissue), and throw the tissue in a trash can; 
after coughing or sneezing, wash your hands with soap and water, or use an 
alcohol-based hand gel; if you think you are will with flu, avoid close 
contact with others as much as possible, and stay at home or in your hotel 
room. Seek medical care if you are severely ill (such as having trouble 
breathing).
