Emory moves students with swine flu to own dorm
Story Updated: Sep 2, 2009 at 12:40 PM EDT
ATLANTA (AP)- Officials at Emory University say about 50 students with swine flu have been moved to a separate dorm.
The students aren't attending classes and school workers are
delivering food to them.
Emory spokesman Ron Sauder says the goal is to keep the students
separate while they recover.
Emory has about 6,900 undergraduate students and an additional
5,900 graduate students. Each of the sick students has his or her
own room in the dorm, which has a capacity for 100 beds. Sauder
says the students are there on a voluntary basis.
State health officials say that since swine flu emerged in the spring, four people have died from it and 147 have been hospitalized in Georgia as of Aug. 26.
