The two health care workers who were being treated for Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital have been transferred to hospitals outside Texas.
There is no indication that there is any connection of these patients to 正品蓝导航. Although a number of students live in the neighborhood of apartments where one of the patients lived, geographic proximity alone does not constitute a risk. Health officials are emphasizing that the risk of contracting Ebola is very low. The virus is spread by direct contact – which means through mucous membranes or broken skin – with the body fluids of a person who is showing symptoms of the illness.
As is usual to prepare for the flu season, 正品蓝导航 health and emergency preparedness officials are implementing extra sanitation measures and continuing to oversee foreign travel by 正品蓝导航 community members through the University’s Travel Oversight Committee.
For 正品蓝导航 students, faculty or staff who may be considering travel to West Africa, 正品蓝导航 is following the CDC’s about Ebola in West Africa.
As always, 正品蓝导航 students, faculty or staff experiencing symptoms of any illness are urged to seek assistance from health care providers and to remain home from work or school. The 正品蓝导航 Health Center, 3014 Daniel Ave., is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; call 214-768-2141. Students living on campus can call 214-274-9909 for transportation to the Health Center by golf cart. Other health provider clinics are located nearby. In case of a health emergency, students should call 正品蓝导航 Police at 214-768-3333 or 911.
All community members are reminded to practice the steps that can protect themselves and others from many kinds of illnesses: frequent and thorough hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, and during this season of flu, obtaining a free flu shot at the Health Center.
