for employees who are ill
Faculty and staff who think they may have H1N1 influenza should contact their personal health care providers.
Symptoms of H1N1 and other influenza-like illnesses include:
- Fever (higher than 100˚F or 37.8˚C)
- Headache
- Extreme tiredness
- Dry cough
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Muscle aches
- Sore throat
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends faculty and staff with influenza-like illness stay at home, except to get medical care,
until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever (100˚F or 37.8˚C) or free of signs of fever without use of fever-reducing medications.
Employees who are unable to attend work because of illness should notify their direct supervisors and contact their Human Resources representative for details on sick leave.
Faculty and staff who suspect a student is ill should have the student call University Health Services at 216.368.2450. The university’s Student Handbook states that students who are unable to attend classes because of illness should notify their instructors and make the appropriate arrangements. Faculty are expected to give students the opportunity to make up an examination or work that is missed provided the make-up work does not create any unreasonable burdens.
