On the 11th of June 2009, the world health organisation officially launched their H1N1 pandemic public announcement. Almost 9 months later, the projected 100,000 a day death toll that was screamed from pretty much every tabloid headline, news program and “Respected Scientist/Doctor/Man” who knows something about pigs, has failed to materialise. Now don’t get me wrong, this is a good thing.

Forget the hand sanitizer and coughing into the crook of your arm to avoid spreading germs. Put away the surgical face masks and stop avoiding the serial sneezer on the tube.  All you have to do to avoid swine flu is buy the right clothes.

Have you got a plan so everyone knows how to share work in case someone in your team has swine flu? There is no point in wishing flu misery on your staff for the sake of a little planning and anyway it could cost you a packet if you find the office half empty. Forewarned is forearmed, and that's especially true when it comes to swine flu.
It's not difficult to keep an office clean, it just takes a little bit of thought. Here's some handy pointers to preventing spread of the swine flu virus.
After a fall-off of cases over the summer, a second wave of swine flu is expected as autumn turns into winter. Because prevention is better than cure, here at Euroffice, we've put together a little checklist of things to keep in mind. It's just common sense, but we hope it will make you more aware of the simple precautions you can take to keep flu – avian, swine, Spanish, whatever – at bay.
