Product Description The new guidance applies to any flu virus circulating during the 2009-2010 flu season, not only 2009 H1N1 flu. It will be very hard to tell if someone who is sick has 2009 H1N1 flu or seasonal flu. It offers specific steps for business owners and managers to take to protect workers and to maintain continuity of operations. It provides guidance for the current flu conditions as well as for more severe flu conditions. This guidance also recommends that, based on current flu conditions, employees with flu-like illness stay home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius) or signs of a fever (have chills, feel very warm, have a flushed appearance, or are sweating). This should be determined without the use of fever-reducing medications (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen). This is a shorter time period than the previous guidance, which recommended that sick people stay home for 7 days after symptoms began. The 7-day period would still be recommended in business settings under more severe flu conditions. The toolkit includes: Questions and Answers about CDC’s Guidance for Businesses and Employers to Plan and Respond to the 2009-2010 Influenza Season Quick Reference for Business 2009 H1N1 Flu Planning and Response 1 Fact Sheet for Employers Actions Steps to Keep Your Business and Employees Healthy 1 Fact Sheet for Employees 8 Ways You Can Stay Healthy at Work 3 Template E-mails (or Letters) for Businesses to Send to Employees Flu Season is Starting.
