CFB: Michigan Stadium now equipped with hand sanitizers


Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — University of Michigan spokesman Rick Fitzgerald says the school installed 40 hand sanitizer stations at the Big House to try to help prevent the spread of swine flu.

The Wolverines beat Western Michigan 31-7 Saturday in front of 109,019 fans who found the sanitizer near concession areas.
The swine flu virus has caused at least 2,837 deaths, mostly in the Western Hemisphere, since it emerged in Mexico and the United States earlier this year and has developed into a full-blown global epidemic.
Health officials recommend washing hands frequently with soap and warm water or waterless hand sanitizers.
Fitzgerald said the sanitizer stations are part of a campus-wide effort to fight the flu.
