Important Swine Flu Information

Twenty confirmed cases of swine flu have been reported in people in the United States. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) is working closely with state and local officials to investigate the human cases of swine influenza.

It is important to communicate that there is no human influenza pandemic at this time. Continuing to prepare and plan for a pandemic influenza is critical. Your organization plays a key role in this effort and will help to limit the potential negative impact to your business.

Hand hygiene is a critical component in helping keep any type of flu from spreading, so this should be a focal point for us all to consider.  This includes frequent hand washing and/or use of Hand Sanitizers in situations where hand washing might not be convenient or available.

Your business should develop specific plans to protect your employees and maintain operations during a potential pandemic. Companies that provide critical infrastructure services, such as power and telecommunications, also have a responsibility to plan for continued operation in a crisis.
