Businesses Urged to Prepare for H1N1 Autumn Outbreak

A new guide is available on the Internet to help employers prepare for the inevitable spread of the H1N1 flu virus. Director of Planning with Business New Brunswick, Shannon Stanford, says businesses need to figure out how they will continue operations if several employees are absent.


Chief medical officer of health, Dr. Eilish Cleary says they expect about 30 per cent of the provincial population to get sick with the pandemic flu strain. The "Be Safe, Act Now" Guide for employers is available on the Business New Brunswick website.
