A student on our Gold Coast campus has been diagnosed with H1N1 Influenza A
(Human Swine Influenza). We are working closely with Queensland Health's
Gold Coast Population Health Unit, to implement appropriate infectious
disease management procedures as usual.
The student's parents were passengers on a cruise ship, and the family are
now in quarantine. The student's symptoms are relatively mild. The
student has had limited contact with a very small number of students, and
no contact with staff on the campus. The Gold Coast Population Health Unit
is following up with those who did have contact with the student.
Queensland Health does not recommend closure or restriction of activities
of any part of the University, and the University will continue to liaise
closely with the Population Health Unit and cooperate fully with their
requirements.
Queensland Health is advising that the key factor to help prevent the
spread of Human Swine Influenza is to exercise effective hygiene practices:
wash hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand
gel. Hand washing instructions can be found at http://education.qld.gov.au/heal ... -washing-poster.pdf
wash hands prior to touching your eyes, nose and mouth
when coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with disposable
tissues which should be disposed of immediately
don't share items such as cigarettes, glasses or cups, lipstick, toys or
anything which could be contaminated with respiratory secretions
maintain at least a one metre distance from people who have flu-like
symptoms such as coughing or sneezing
consult your doctor if you have a cough and fever and follow their
instructions, including taking medicine as prescribed
if attending a medical practice or hospital Emergency Department,
telephone beforehand so that they can arrange for you to be seen away
from other people
