OSU 메디컬 센터에 돼지 독감으로 의심되는 환자를 치료하고 있다고 합니다.
메디컬 센터에서 근무하거나 공부하시는 분들 말고도 OSU에 계시는 분들 모두 건강 조심하시기 바랍니다.
손발을 청결하게 유지하시기 바랍니다.

콜롬버스 아줌마 카페의 글을 인용합니다.
기침이나 재채기할 때 티슈등으로 코와 입을 가리고,  사용한 티슈는 꼭 버리세요.

손을 비누와 물로 자주 깨끗이 씻으시고, 특히 재채기 후엔 더 깨끗이. 알코올이 들어있는 핸드 크린져를 사용하면 훨씬 효과적.

눈, 코, 입을 절때 손등으로 만지지 마세요. 병균이 전염되는 경로랍니다.

그리고 아픈 사람들과 절대 접촉하지 마세요.

전염은 전염된 사람들의 재채기나 기침등에 의해 사람에게 전해진다고 알려져 있다네요.

당분간 외출을 자제하세요.

20~30대의 건강한 사람이 걸릴 확률이 더 높다고 합니다. 건강한 면역체계를 가지고 있는 사람이 이 인플루엔자에 과도하게 반응하여 더 심해진다고 하네요.

The Ohio State University Medical Center is releasing the following statement this evening (4/29). We want to make sure you received this before it is released to the local news.

The Ohio State University Medical Center provided treatment to a patient who was diagnosed with probable swine influenza A (H1N1) virus, which is pending confirm!ation at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The patient is an employee of the Medical Center who contracted the virus outside the workplace. The patient responded well to treatment and is being discharged this evening.

OSU Medical Center staff followed all recommended precautions to prevent the spread of the illness to others. Individuals who had contact with the patient prior to admission are being notified. The Medical Center is providing prophylactic/preventive medication to those individuals, in accordance with standard CDC recommendations.

The Medical Center’s normal patient visitation schedule remains unchanged. The hospital continues to urge all visitors and staff to follow infection control steps including covering your mouth and nose if you have a cough or sneeze, and not visit patients if you are ill. Frequent use of waterless hand sanitizers is also recommended.

OSU Medical Center is working in collaboration with the CDC, Ohio Department of Health, and Columbus Public Health and following all appropriate guidelines.

We will provide updates in the following days through e-mail and the university emergency web site http://www.emergency.osu.edu.
