Influenza or the Flu is a highly contagious respiratory viral illness that can affect a person for a period of 3 days and up to 2 weeks.  Symptoms of the Flu can include fever, runny nose, congested sinuses, fatigue, headache, cough, sore throat and achy muscles and joints.

Influenza is spread when an infected person sneezes or coughs around other people i.e. your staff!  Particles are passed through the air where they will infect those with whom they come in contact. An infected person may not know they have influenza, and can pass the virus along to others with significant ease.
