Simpson College Says School Will Work Will Students As They Report Symptoms of H1N1

By: Bethany Christenson

Jim Thorius, vice president of student development, says Simpson College will work with students to help keep H1N1 under control. Simpson now has an web reporting form for students to help keep symptoms under control. If they fill out the form and realize that they have multiple symptoms they can call or fill out a sheet and turn it into health services.

They are encouraging students to go home for at least 24 hours, but if travel is not possible they can provide them with an isolated room within their residence hall. Roommates can also move out of their rooms temporarily during this time and can be provided with an alternative room.

Thursday Simpson reported a student with symptoms consistent with those of H1N1. This is the first case reported at Simpson.
