Saturday was no day off for the UH Manoa Health Center.
"I was feeling nauseas, for sure, soreness of throat, congestion," said Carrie Downing-Larick, UH Manoa student.
Fifty students, faculty and staff came in to get tested for the swine flu.
"They did take samples from my throat and asked me if I traveled anywhere," said Thomas Akiyama, UH Manoa student.
With one confirmed case on campus and another still pending, many aren't taking any chances. Health Center staff were also on guard against the virus.
"Whenever you put out that kind of announcement and with the coverage of it, people have a concern and appropriately so," said Virginia Hinshaw, UH Manoa Chancellor.
"My mom, I called my mom and she was all about going she said she'd have to come down to Hawaii and force me if I didn't go," said Downing-Larick
Not all fifty patients who came in to get checked out were swabbed. Only those showing flu-like symptoms.
"Fever, sore throat, cough, aches and pains, fatigue," said Hinshaw.
"We're all on high alert about it, we've learned to identify the symptoms of H1N1," said Reid Hoshide, UH Manoa student.
"I got it checked out by the doctor and she said I had a strep throat, no signs of a fever," said Akiyama.
Everyone who was tested was cleared for the flu.
"Those have all been negative, but we still take the swabs to the Department of Health for testing in addition," said Hinshaw.
Official results will come as early as next week.
"But you always respect influenza, so we believe we're taking the right precautions," said Hinshaw.
Those precautions could change this years Graduation ceremony. Students accepting their diplomas on stage might be left hanging, if the University decides to eliminate handshakes.
"We'll evaluate that as the situation dictates," said Hinshaw. "Whether it's a bow or a shaka or whatever."
For now final exams and graduation will go as planned.
"We'll keep them posted if anything changes," said Hinshaw.
The University says it will follow Department of Health guidelines before making changes to campus activities. The Health Services clinic at UH Manoa will be closed Sunday.
