George Brown College continues to monitor H1N1 (Swine Flu)
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.
