H1N1 Information

H1N1 Information

An H1N1 Task Force is meeting regularly to help prevent and prepare for a possible H1N1 outbreak on the Bethel campus. The team is closely monitoring updates on the status of H1N1 and will follow any guidance from the state or federal governments regarding this virus.

If you believe you may have H1N1, If You Become Ill has helpful instructions for you.


October 15 Update

If you have symptoms of H1N1, we want to help care for you.

  • The first thing you should do if you have symptoms is fill out the self-report form at www.bethel.edu/h1n1. You may also call or email Health Services (651.638.6215 or health-services@bethel.edu) if you have concerns or questions. A Health Services nurse will give you advice based on your symptoms and situation. As is in line with current health practices, we ask that you do not go to Health Services unless you have underlying health issues or are instructed to do so by Health Services, because this furthers the spread of the virus.
  • You may also find an online self-evaluation tool at www.flu.gov/evaluation/ helpful in determining when your symptoms require medical attention.
  • If you need meals, have a roommate or friend go to the Sodexo office (near the Monson Dining Center) with your ID card or ID number. They will be given a takeout box in which to get food for you. If you are unable to find someone to do this for you, contact your RA.
