This Flu Virus COULD lead to the Pandemic (if human-human transmission occurs) we expected but did NOT get in 2009 from Swine Flu (if this one doesn’t we have H5N1 to worry about and a novel Corona (SARS like ) virus lurking!) writes Dr Charlie Easmon who believes that all companies should have a Pandemic FLU Contingency Plan for distribution that outlines<\/p>\n
What is to be done at each stage of the spread of the disease in terms of:<\/p>\n
Travel to and from certain locations (i.e. China)
\nWhat possible border restrictions may apply and when
\nWhat to do if a suspected case arises in another country (ie Afghanistan to UK)
\nWhat personal protection Measures (PEP) should be in place for which staff
\nwhere (ie masks etc)
\nWhat vaccination measures (seasonal flu vaccination and at a later stage
\nspecific vaccination) should be in place when
\nWhat antiviral measure (ie Tamiflu) should be in place – To order Tamiflu we
\nneed a signed letter on headed paper requesting an amount ( we will charge \u00a370
\nper box but your own sources may be much cheaper)<\/p>\n
What ADDITIONAL hygiene measures are to be put in place where (i.e. no hand
\nshaking, enhanced cleaning of door handles and computers etc)<\/p>\n
