 H1N1 Update – November 30th, 2009

Update from WHO – November 27, 2009;  Source: www.who.int

27 November 2009 -- As of 22 November 2009, worldwide more than 207 countries and overseas territories or communities have reported laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009, including over 7820 deaths.
As many countries have stopped counting individual cases, particularly of milder illness, the case count is likely to be significantly lower than the actual number of cases that have occurred. WHO is actively monitoring the progress of the pandemic through frequent consultations with the WHO Regional Offices and member states and through monitoring of multiple sources of data.
In the United States and Canada, influenza transmission remains very active and geographically widespread. In the United States, disease activity appears to have peaked in all areas of the country. In Canada, influenza activity remains similar but number of hospitalisations and deaths is increasing. Most countries in the Caribbean have ILI and SARI levels coming down.

Update from Hallmark Housekeeping Services Inc.

Hallmark Housekeeping Services continues to implement Level 1 of our Pandemic Plan.  Area managers continue to order additional disinfectant cleaner for our building sites, and stock-piling extra PPE and disinfectant cleaner at our storage facility.   In addition, all managers and supervisors have participated in a workshop at our Training Centre to learn the proper cleaning & disinfecting methods when required to disinfect an area which has come into contact with the H1N1 virus.  We continue to monitor the latest developments of the virus reported by the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health.
