These bedrooms have not been used yet because Stillman Infirmary has a capacity of 15 people and is not full, Rosenthal said.
Two sick students will be placed in each of these bedrooms if needed, and Harvard University Dining Services will deliver meals to the rooms while the students are in isolation, according to UHS director David S. Rosenthal ’59.
UHS Director David S. Rosenthal ’59 said that although the application will probably not be helpful in diagnosing individual H1N1 cases, it is a “very interesting technique” that could provide health officials with additional information on general incidence trends.
Rosenthal added that since the CDC recommends that people with the flu be isolated until 24 hours after they are fever-free, UHS is also trying to locate enough space throughout the university to isolate ill students who are not in single bedrooms.
But Rosenthal recommended that regardless of whether or not the university experiences an epidemic, students should continue to practice good hygiene and not come in close contact with people who appear ill.
