Pandemic Preparedness and Business Continuity: How Ready Are You For The Next Infectious Disease?
Zika virus infection in humans has been around since the 50s. But it is not until recently that it gained widespread attention in Singapore when MOH confirmed its initial 41 cases on 28 August 2016. The same can be said for tuberculosis as well as dengue fever. While these 3 has recently received more attention, other non vector borne diseases such as Hand, Food and Mouth Disease is also on the rise with the Ministry of Health reporting 948 cases in its weekly infectious disease bulletin ending 31 August 2016*.
- Is your pandemic plan ready for an onslaught of staff taking leave because they are infected or their child or family members are infected by Zika, Dengue, TB or HFMD?
- What if you are in an infectious disease hotspot, how do you maintain business as usual?
- Are your pandemic plans addressing new and recurring infectious diseases?
