After you have been exposed to someone with H1N1 or flu-like symptoms:
- Closely monitor your health for seven days.
- If you become ill with fever and other symptoms of flu like cough and sore throat and possibly vomiting and diarrhea during this period, DO NOT GO TO CLASS or to common areas (Cafeteria or Student Activities Center) and call the Health Center or your primary care provider for an appointment.
- When you make the appointment, tell your provider's office the following: your symptoms, and if you have had close contact with a person infected with H1N1. During the appointment, your health care provider will try to determine if you have the flu or another illness and if antiviral medications are necessary. Remember, if you have the flu, you may be asked to return home to recuperate. You can return to campus 24 hours after the fever has subsided without the use of fever-reducing medications.
