OU reports student with H1N1 flu virus

By The Herald Staff

An Ottawa University student has been confirmed as having the H1N1 virus, an OU official said today.

The student lives off campus and is doing fine, Karen Ohnesorge, Dean of Instruction at the college, said.

The case does not appear to have been reported to the Franklin County Health Department. Midge Ransom, director of the health department, said the state has not confirmed any H1N1 cases in Franklin County, however cases that are not reported and therefore not confirmed may exist.

Ohnesorge said in an e-mail that the college encourages students who have flu symptoms to stay home. Faculty will need to adjust attendance policies to accommodate absences, she said.
