<!--endclickprintexclude-->Those four are now recovering at home and while we learned about the infections last Friday, the school has yet to send out a campus wide alert to students who shared classrooms with the four infected kids.
Today we asked why.
Students at SDSU tell us they're satisfied with the schools information campaign on what they can do to avoid coming down with H1N1.
Student Greg Tusa says the warnings are hard to miss. "There's tons of signs throughout our Hanson Hall about the illnesses going around."
The school is keeping in touch with the four infected students, ready to help them catch up on their studies.
The school is also working with those students' roommates but as far as those who shared classrooms with the infected students...."We have not gone our and communicated campus wide on that kind of information.":confused: Marysz Rames is SDSU's Vice-President for Student Affairs.
She tells us the school is focusing all it's efforts on education and prevention, telling to students to follow their hygiene rules, use plentiful amounts of hand sanitizer and to use social distancing if they believe they or one of their friends is sick.
Rames adds they've increased the number of people working on their cleaning staff. "Extra cleaning on any doorknobs, any of the phones that we have in the buildings, all the common areas where students might study."
SDSU students we talked to don't seem overly concerned but one of them said he would have appreciated an e-mail from the school, telling him if the infected students are in class with him or not.:tiphat:http://www.ksfy.com/news/local/59279617.html
