昨天下午从外地回来, 打开QQ, 发现小孩把她所在学校发布的该校出现确诊一例甲型H1N1流感的新闻粘在了我的QQ上.看到此新闻,开始感到非常恐慌,而且得知该患者也是位新生,他所住的宿舍与我小孩的宿舍只有一栋之隔.说狼来了,狼真的来了. 但看完该校这则新闻后,发现学校采取了一系列的应急措施与处置,让我又稍微放松了一点绷得紧紧的神经.

  以下是该校所发给每位学生的电子邮件:

Ohio State student diagnosed with a suspect case of swine flu

An Ohio State University student was diagnosed with a suspect case of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus, which is pending confirmation at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The student was exposed to the virus outside the university through close contact with family members that were believed to have the H1N1 virus.

The student is a male, freshman and a resident of Stradley Hall. The university is following recommended precautions to prevent the spread of the illness to others. The student has been moved to another location for isolation and is being treated and monitored.

The university is communicating with the 450 residents of Stradley Hall. In addition, individuals who had close contact with the student over the last two days are being notified. The student health center is offering prophylactic/preventive medication to those individuals.

The Wilce Student Health Center, 1875 Millikin Rd., will hold clinic hours for students tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students also can call the clinic's advice nurse line at 614-292- 4321.

The university continues to urge all students, faculty and staff to follow infection control steps including frequent hand washing and covering your mouth and nose if you have a cough or sneeze. Frequent use of waterless hand sanitizers is also recommended.

Ohio State is working in collaboration with the CDC, Ohio Department of Health, and Columbus Public Health and following all appropriate guidelines.

The university continues all regular operations.
