Staff Resources
If staff member is experiencing influenza-like illness
In compliance with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Pennsylvania Department of Health recommendations, KU will strongly encourage those with influenza-like-illness to:
- follow CDC self-isolation guidelines. The CDC recommends isolation until at least 24 hours after fever has resolved (without the use of fever-reducing medications). It is imperative that infected persons safeguard the health of others by following the non-attendance CDC self-isolation guidelines.
- follow their position's sick leave provisions.
- alert appropriate staff in their departments as soon as possible to inform them that they will be absent.
What staff should know to assist with KU's plan for mitigating the spread and impact of the flu
- Promote flu prevention resources and other non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs).
- Departments should maintain/update their Continuity of Operations Plans to insure department can function with elevated staff absences.
