2. In schools, students and staff who appear to have an influenza-like illness at arrival or who become ill during the day should be sent home.

3. To minimize further spread of disease and to increase the chance of full recovery, persons with flu-like symptoms (fever of 100 degrees or higher with a cough or sore throat) should stay home from school or work for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone (the fever must be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.

4. Not all patients with suspected novel influenza (H1N1) infection or seasonal influenza infection need to be seen by a health care provider.  Most persons recover fully without anti-viral medicines.  Patients with severe illness and those at high risk for complications from influenza should contact their medical provider or seek medical care.

5. Not all people with suspected novel influenza (H1N1) infection need to have the diagnosis confirmed, especially if the illness is mild.  Confirmatory testing is recommended for high risk individuals, hospitalized patients and persons with a typical presentation of illness.
