NAU has ‘probable’ case of swine flu

The Arizona Department of Health Services has said that a 19-year-old Northern Arizona University student has a “probable” case of swine influenza A, H1N1, also known as swine flu.

NAU and the Coconino County Health Department are awaiting confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control.

The university has not seen a widespread outbreak of any flu, but continues to monitor the situation with the county and is following health guidelines from the CDC.

NAU is operating under normal business conditions with the consent of the county health department. The schedule for classes, final exams, convocations and commencement remains unchanged.

A 24-hour phone bank has been set up to address any questions from students or parents: 928-523-0007.
