Although local and national media has reported an outbreak of over 2,000 H1N1 virus cases at Washington State University over the past few weeks, President Elson S. Floyd said today the number of confirmed cases is far less than this number.

"Health and Wellness Services, in accord with the Centers for Disease Control guidelines, is not routinely testing for H1N1 or swine flu," Floyd said. "As a result, the number of cases confirmed through testing at WSU is actually quite small."
