Since August 26, 49 people have gone to UHS with influenza-like illnesses, the vast majority of whom were undergraduates, Rosenthal said.
“The resident deans are in good communication with [Ad Board Secretary Jay L. Ellison], the deans, and UHS,” said Lisa Boes, resident dean of Pforzheimer House.
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 gives digital thermometers, masks, tissues, and Purell dispensers to people who exhibit flu-like symptoms. Students can leave isolation after 24 hours without a fever, which usually takes three to four days, Rosenthal said.
Lipsitch said the UHS flu procedures for isolating students were exceptionally cautious.
