CDC does not recommend notifying employees or sending home a letter when one or more employees in a business have 2009 H1N1 flu. Though we recognize this is something many individuals want to know, unless this is something that a business does routinely every flu season, there is no reason to do so now. Businesses in communities experiencing a flu outbreak should, in coordination with their state or local health and education agencies, send home information on the importance of staying home when sick and ways to reduce the spread of flu. The “Preparing for the Flu: A Communication Toolkit for Businesses and Employers” includes fact sheets for employees and templates for letters that businesses can send to employees regarding steps businesses are taking during current or more severe flu conditions. These materials can be found at http://www.flu.gov/h1n1flu/professional/business/toolkit/.
