Swine Flu Widespread at University of Pittsburgh
Cases of swine flu have been reported at all of the University of Pittsburgh’s regional campuses, according to Chancellor Mark Nordenberg. Students have been given instructions to isolate themselves because of the risk of the high-contagious virus spreading even faster. They are also being given face masks to help contain the contagion.
A spokesman for the Allegheny County Health Department said that the H1N1 virus will likely target younger people, unlike the seasonal flu.
The World Health Organization reports that more than 310,000 people worldwide have been infected by swine flu.
