How long should students, faculty, or staff with flu-like symptoms or H1N1 flu stay out of school?
Ill students, faculty, and staff should stay home from school until at least 24 hours after their fever is gone. (Their fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Ill people should contact their health care providers immediately if their symptoms get worse or if their symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough.
