Because of the large numbers of students heading to the doctorâ??s office with the flu, regular appointments at the University of Wisconsin-Madisonâ??s health clinic are being restricted.
University Health Services UHS implemented its “surge plan” on Tuesday with the surge coming from students suffering from flu-like symptoms, so staff can take care of the students who are sick.
As of Saturday, about 200 students had visited the health services complaining of the flu. Most of the cases were for H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu.
