Many of you are well aware of the current spread of the Swine Flu throughout the globe. Student Housing Services has a Flu Pandemic Plan that we have been preparing for years. It is not known yet if the Swine Flu will become a Pandemic - but we are monitoring the situation quite closely. Yesterday the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care raised the Provincial Status Indicator from “Green - Routine” to “Yellow - Enhanced.”
At the “Yellow - Enhanced” level it is important for a high risk area like a student residence to be particularly diligent in the prevention and surveillance of Flu cases.
§ We are unable to accept any further Applications for Residence Extension
§ We are unable to accept any further Exceptions for Overnight Guests
§ Individuals passing into the secure area of our Residence Buildings are being asked to Sanitize with the provided Hand Sanitizer
§ The Residence Life Team will be distributing Self-Diagnosis and Flu Information Cards throughout the Residence. For Tracking purposes please e-mail housing@ryerson.ca to let us know if you contract the flu
§ We ask day-time guests that have traveled to affected areas in the past 21 days or are exhibiting Cold and Flu-like symptoms to refrain from entering the Residence.
For more information on the Ministry of Health’s Provincial Status Indicators please visit http://www.health.gov.on.ca/english/public/program/emu/prov_status.html
If you would like more information about swine flu, its symptoms and how to help protect yourself against transmission, please visit the Ryerson Health Centre website at http://www.ryerson.ca/studentservices/healthcentre/forms/swineflu_faq.pdf.
If you have a question or concern regarding these guidelines please feel free to contact Student Housing Services reception at x5284 or housing@ryerson.ca.

Temperature Changes
Daytime high temperatures are forecasted to be in the mid 20's for the next few days, with overnight lows dropping only to the mid-teens. In response to these warm temperatures, and since there will be little if any need for heat, we turned off the heat, and turned on the air conditioning in Pitman Hall. Please adjust the thermostat in your room accordingly - as the unit in your room will no longer provide warm air, but will now provide cool air. The system will take a few hours to fully cool down - but you should notice full air conditioning by Saturday morning.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Student Housing Services office by at housing@ryerson.ca, or 416.979.5284.
