Cowell Student Health Center continues to see a fair number of students presenting with mild to moderate flu like symptoms.  Several students have been advised to isolate themselves from others until they remain fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.  The students we have evaluated have remained isolated for approximately 2 to 3 days and have recovered well and resumed full activities.

Please continue to follow the general measures to protect yourself and others by following these simple healthy habits: wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, cover your cough or sneeze, avoid touching your mouth/nose/eyes as this is a primary means of transmitting infection, don’t share personal items, stay home or in your room if you have a fever 100° F or above and flu-like symptoms.
