Health alert

My school keeps sending out health alerts, notifying us that 47 students have become ill with symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, dizziness and dehydration. Great! I'm not really sure what to do about this, but fortunately my employer is:
In an effort to contain the spread of the illness, we are asking all faculty, staff and students to wash their hands regularly, do not clean up after a student who has been ill and use sanitary wipes to clean their immediate areas. The University is providing sanitary wipes at all residence halls and custodians have been instructed to deep clean common areas. Students should contact a building supervisor to clean areas where students have become ill. (Emphasis mine.)
Well, I'm glad I got this notice, because normally I just rush to clean up my students' vomit. But apparently the correct procedure is to call a custodian and just go on with my lecture as though there were no pile of vomit sitting there on a desk.
