Health Advisory: H1N1 influenza

In response to increasing numbers of H1N1 influenza cases in the United States the University's emergency response team has activated efforts to gather information, including regular contact with local and federal public health authorities, and take appropriate proactive steps for the campus community. Plans put in place over the past several years to address other global outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as SARS and Avian Flu, help to inform Georgetown's approach to the most appropriate responses to the H1N1 virus. This website provides community messages and resources that provide relevant information about the situation for the Law Center community.


If you’re experiencing influenza-like symptoms:
  • Remain home until you are fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication.
  • Students should contact the Student Health Center’s H1N1 advice line at
    202-784-H1N1 (4161).
  • Faculty and staff should contact their health care provider
H1N1 Prevention Tips:
  • Wash your hands regularly for at least 30 seconds with soap and warm water.
  • Always cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or the inside of your elbow.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
