Updated CDC
Guidance on H1N1 Influenza in the Workplace
[Posted 07/01/2009]
Even though H1N1 flu continues to spread, there are
certain sectors that have very low risk. The Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) has updated its guidance
for low-risk workplaces, such as offices that have
minimal contact with the public.
The most recent update concludes “that a worker who
has been exposed to a person with pandemic influenza
A (H1N1) may continue to go to work unless he/she
becomes ill.”
The CDC H1N1 flu website provides a list
of symptoms of the disease, workplace prevention
tips, and coping strategies for businesses that
experience a confirmed case: www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/guidance/workplace.htm.
