The University’s first case of the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, was confirmed Monday. The student is in recovery off campus, and no classes or scheduled events have been canceled.”The LSU Emergency Operations Center is closely monitoring the campus community for cases of swine flu and has been doing so ever since the initial outbreak in Mexico,” said University Spokeswoman Kristine Calongne in an e-mail to The Daily Reveille. Calongne said the University has been posting updates and messages to both the LSU homepage and a special swine flu Web page to keep the campus community informed.”LSU has also informed students that they can go to the Student Health Center if they feel ill, and that they should immediately be checked by a doctor if they experience flu-like symptoms,” Calongne said. East Baton Rouge Parish had 34 confirmed cases of swine flu as of July 2.—–Contact Kyle Bove at [email protected]
