YOU CAN BREATHE EASY, FRIEND...
Dear students,
I'm writing today to make you aware of an Ohio Department of Health Alert that was distributed
Sunday afternoon regarding recent outbreaks of swine flu. Please take a moment to review a
summary of this alert at http://www.ohio.edu/outlook/08-09/April/546.cfm .
As an added precaution, we have asked the housekeeping staff to be extra diligent in their
cleaning of our residential facilities to help minimize the risk of infection. If you live
off-campus, I would encourage you to do the same in your apartment or house.
Additional information is available on the Ohio Department of Health and Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention Web sites at http://www.odh.ohio.gov and http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/ .
If you have a concern about exposure or have symptoms described in the aforementioned
resources, you should see a medical provider immediately. For information on Student Health
Service (SHS) hours, visit http://www.ohio.edu/hudson/shs/. If you experience symptoms outside
of SHS hours, you should visit O'Bleness Memorial Hospital Emergency Room.
Sincerely,
Ryan Lombardi
Dean of Students
