The University has been diligently planning steps for minimizing the effects of the national H1N1 Influenza Pandemic (previously known as “swine flu”) on campus. Nationwide, this new strain for flu has been spreading rapidly for the past few months, but fortunately, the UR has not had any known cases yet. Precautions are nonetheless critical. Be smart, stay healthy.

Wash your hands often, and use an alcohol based hand sanitizer (Purell®) in between. If you are feeling sick, stay in your room and call UHS. This is especially important if you have a fever above 101°F or are exhibiting any other symptoms of the flu.
