Several students have fallen ill this season with flu-like symptoms (fever, coughing, and body aches, etc.), and Student Health Services and Human Resources would like to take the opportunity to remind the IIT community of how to minimize your risk and stay healthy, and what to do if you become sick with the flu. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines state that only patients whose illness requires hospitalization will be tested for the H1N1 flu strain, so it is important to treat all flu-like illnesses with the same level of caution.
