About H1N1 Flu

As the international H1N1 flu (originally called swine flu) outbreak continues widening, local public health officials are confirming there are people with flu-like symptoms that are similar to those associated with the H1N1 flu virus in our communities. Beaufort County Community College is genuinely concerned for the health and well-being of our employees and students. We are aware that the probability of this virus affecting our College community during the next few months is very likely. We urge our students, faculty, and staff to self-monitor the health of themselves and their family members. Health officials continue to encourage practicing good hygiene, in order to limit the spread of the H1N1 and all other flu viruses.
