Revised: February 18, 2011

The World Health Organization (WHO) continues the alert level for H1N1 (Swine Flu) at level 6 (global pandemic: human-to-human transfer in more than one region). We are continuously reviewing the College's pandemic plans and remain confident that we have appropriate preparations in place.

The college continues to operate normally and there is no need for special precautions - other than usual good personal hygiene practices such as regular hand washing.
