Provide care of inmates with ILI, including scheduled temperature checks and access to increased fluids, and antiviral treatment when indicated. Also provide tissue, a plastic bag for the proper disposal of used tissues, and alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Restrict movements of inmates with ILI within the facility and restrict inmates from leaving, transferring from or to another facility during the 7 days after onset of symptoms or until 24 hours after symptoms resolve, whichever is longer, unless necessary for medical care, infection control, or lack of isolation space.
If multiple inmates become ill with novel influenza A H1N1 , establish a designated area of the institution specifically for sick persons. Designate staff to care for these individuals only, and do not have these inmates circulating in other parts of the institution. Limit movement of designated staff between different parts of the institution to decrease the risk of staff spreading influenza to other parts of the facility.
