You have two options regarding the duration of your symptoms. If possible it is recommended that you return home for the recovery period or you can choose to self-isolate in your residence hall room. If you choose to self isolate a member of the Wartburg Residential Life staff will be stopping by your room to deliver a flu kit.
Student Life will work with the Dean of the Faculty ‘s Office to ensure that your professors are contacted. However, it is your responsibility to contact your professors as soon as possible to discuss missed work and absences.
Influenza may cause only mild to moderate symptoms for most students, but for students with the following risk factors (see the CDC link below), the illness could result in very severe symptoms. For the protection of other students, if you are unable to go home for the recovery period, self isolation is being recommended.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) it is recommended that you remain in self-isolation for 24 hours past the time your fever is gone, without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.
