What to know about adenovirus, other viruses circulating around Penn State campus

Pennsylvania’s Department of Health is monitoring an “ adenovirus outbreak ” on Penn State’s campus. And, although campus numbers appear to be similar to last year, the university issued a news release last week so those with underlying medical conditions know to take precautions. Adenoviruses are a common group of viruses that typically cause flu-like symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , and people with weakened immune systems or cardiac/respiratory disease are at risk of becoming seriously ill.

PA high schools do not need a phone ban

Pennsylvania’s statewide phone ban is claimed to help reduce student distraction and help students improve their grades.
