Cornell summer students report flu-like illness, cases remain mild
A number of cases of influenza-like illness have now been reported among summer students at Cornell. Additional cases are likely to arise in other campus programs, departments, and camps. Not all cases of this illness are attributable to the new H1N1 ("swine") influenza virus. However, public health officials do not recommend routine testing to determine the viral type, as the same treatment and isolation guidelines apply regardless of the kind of flu (i.e., seasonal flu or new H1N1 flu). Luckily, the level of illness experienced locally continues to remain relatively mild. Should you or a family member develop flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat), please stay home until you have consulted by phone with your health provider. Students should call Gannett Health Services at 607.255.5155. A health care provider is available by phone 24/7.

There are four confirmed H1N1 cases in Tompkins County including on the Cornell Campus.
