You will be informed when you can re-enter the building. Maps of emergency exits are posted around the Law School; please look at them so you are prepared.
Other information, worth repeating:
To all Graduate Programs Students:
The "flu" is not the same as "a cold." Influenza (commonly referred to as "the flu") is a more serious disease. There is a vaccine that prevents the flu.
We are generally taught to cover our mouths when we cough or use a tissue to cover our mouths. Here is another way -- to "cough into your elbow" -- that is, turn your head away from the person you are talking to and block your mouth with the sleeve/your upper arm. This will stop the spray from your cough.
Whatever system you use, please remember to cover your mouth when you cough and to teach this to your children. This makes a big difference in not spreading the flu.
We hope that everyone stays well and avoids getting the flu when the flu season arrives.
