Northern Arizona University and the Coconino County Health Department
are still awaiting results on a “probable” case of swine influenza A,
H1N1, also known as swine flu, on the Flagstaff campus.
No other suspected cases have been reported and the current patient, a
19-year-old freshman, is nearing full recovery. As a precaution, her
roommate temporarily moved to another room in the same residence hall.
The roommate is not showing any flu-like symptoms.
The student last attended classes on April 24 and is nearly at the end
of the incubation period-the time period during which an individual
would have become symptomatic from exposure to the “probable” case.
If you exhibit any flu-like symptoms, contact Fronske Health Center or
your medical provider. Fronske will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, May 2, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 3.
A 24-hour phone bank is operating to address any questions from students
or parents: (928) 523-0007. More than 120 calls came in from students
and parents during the first 24 hours.
