The effects of A(H1N1) scare!!!

Since last week, the Singapore immigration have imposed to quarantine all people arriving from the Philippines. This has been made after a sudden rise of those people being afflicted by this virus in the Philippines( to date, around 340 people...) have been reported. The quarantine period will last from five days to seven days, depending with the result of the laboratory tests that will be made to these people. As a result, our company have also released an advisory as regards to those employees who will be visiting the Philippines. The advisory states that all people who will be quarantined will be given an unpaid sick leave. Also, prior to visiting the Philippines, the employee should first need to inform the HR. This is to ensure that there will be an accounting of people who may be subjected to isolation. In connection with this recent development, all of the budget airlines, whose route includes the Philippines, have experienced a massive plunge in sales. On the OFW's point of view, this will inhibit us from visiting our family back in the Philippines with ease.. Let's just hope that this will finally be over...
