According to a report in the Edmonton Journal, a student at one of Grant MacEwan College’s Alberta campuses has been diagnosed with the H1N1 flu virus. Staff and students were notified of the case by e-mail.

“MacEwan continues to remind students, faculty and staff to follow recommended procedures such as handwashing, covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing, checking with your doctor if you have any flu-like symptoms and staying at home if you are ill,” read the e-mail.
