UHS Director David S. Rosenthal ’59 said that although the application will probably not be helpful in diagnosing individual H1N1 cases, it is a “very interesting technique” that could provide health officials with additional information on general incidence trends.
While the house dining halls will be closed, all the houses will remain open and students will stay in their own rooms. The houses and dorms will have tutors and proctors on call, UHS and the libraries will remain open, and approved students will have swipe access for the period...
Rosenthal said that he anticipates a rise in the number of cases when students arrive on campus, and encourages everybody who has a fever and a cough to be evaluated by UHS.
Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds sent an e-mail to Harvard College students and parents last Wednesday initiating the outreach campaign, and UHS held a meeting with freshmen parents last Thursday advising them about the flu.
Rosenthal added that since the CDC recommends that people with the flu be isolated until 24 hours after they are fever-free, UHS is also trying to locate enough space throughout the university to isolate ill students who are not in single bedrooms.
