Pandemic Planning for Workplaces

Experts around the world believe it is only a matter of time until the next influenza pandemic occurs. A pandemic is a global outbreak of disease. It starts when a new influenza virus appears in humans and spreads easily worldwide, causing serious illness. Past influenza pandemics have led to high death rates and great social disruption.

Planning is the best way to be prepared for an influenza pandemic. Here are links to pandemic planning information that you can download for your workplace.
