(AP) ? MADISON, Wis. - The University of Wisconsin-Madison and Edgewood student volunteer program at UW Hospital and Clinics has been suspended because of the high number of students with swine flu symptoms.
Infection control director Dr. Nasia Safdar said the hospital system decided to proactively stop allowing student volunteers in the interest of protecting the patients from the H1N1 virus.
The policy also limits who can visit patients.
In the American Family Children's Hospital, only patients or legal guardians are allowed to visit. Similar restrictions now apply at UW Hospital.
Safdar says that with the vaccine coming at the end of October, they may revisit the regulations, but the suspension of student volunteers could last through the flu season.
