Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Information Collection Review Office, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D‐74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920‐0004).
For CUIs, arrange for nasopharyngeal (NP) swab collection and RT-PCR testing at a state public health laboratory.
Patients with influenza-like illness should discuss possible antiviral treatment with a healthcare provider.
Healthcare facilities should use appropriate isolation precautions for cases under investigation for infection with novel influenza A viruses. Non-hospitalized cases under investigation should stay home from school, work, and social gatherings until fever is gone for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.
If this case is later determined to be a confirmed case of infection with novel influenza A, please notify CDC and complete the CDC Human Infection with Novel Influenza A Virus Case Report Form.
