You may be aware the media has reported cases of Swine Flu outbreaks in India as well, where the state of Maharashtra (India), has invoked the Epidemic Diseases Act in the city of Pune (India) as a precaution. Please read the attached “Swine Flu Advisory” which provides links to latest information on reported cases, travel alerts as well as health and safety precautions.
As a general good health practice, all Associates should:
* Maintain good personal hygiene. Wash your hands frequently. Avoid touching your face. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
* Cover coughs and sneezes with a mask or a tissue. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing by infected people.
* Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
* Avoid people who are obviously sick.
* Stay at home if you are unwell.
· People who have not had an annual flu vaccination should consider having one to prevent regular seasonal flu.
If you feel you or your children have developed flu-like symptoms, please take the following steps immediately:
· Inform your Line Manager & Talent Manager immediately
· Undertake precautionary quarantine as soon as symptoms develop & until 48 hours after symptoms recede
· Volunteer for a thorough ‘Flu Check’ at an authorized hospitals, Clinics, or Doctors (Flu specialists)
