Swine Flu Hits Ernst & Young In Times Square (NYC)

Swine Flu has officially hit NYC with a confirmed case of swine flu at the Ernst & Young headquarters in Times Square.  The company believes that, because of the virus’ twenty-four hour incubation period, no one else at the office was infected.  They released the following statement -

“An employee in our offices at 5 Times Square was diagnosed on Sunday with swine flu, which she contracted from a family member. The individual had not been in offices since last Thursday. According to the Center for Disease Control, the disease has a 24-hour incubation period. Given the timeframe, we believe that it is unlikely that any other of our people have been infected.

“The health of our people is our foremost priority. Since learning of the diagnosis, we have followed the procedures outlined by the Center for Disease Control, including closing the offices on the floor where she worked and retaining a skilled sanitation service to clean the area. We have alerted our people and have told them to feel free to work from home if they would be more comfortable doing so. We have also notified the appropriate authorities.”
