On Thursday evening, June 25th, North Carolina A&T Chancellor Harold L. Martin, Sr., sent an email message to faculty, staff and students confirming that two cases on campus tested positive for the H1N1 virus (swine flu). Both cases were treated and isolated. A&T cannot disseminate additional information in order to protect identity and to observe HIPAA rules and regulations. This situation warrants us all to follow preventative health tips and stay informed. A&T will continue following guidelines per the Guilford County Health Department and Sebastian Health Center. Here is Chancellor Martin's H1N1 Notification.

H1N1 Notification

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
  
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
