Hi,
I am considering temporarily amending my sickness policy for a period of four to six weeks to cover the period when the swine flu epidemic is expected to peak and then begin to wane again.
Currently i accept with cold symptoms and temperatures as long as able to join in with normal activities.
i am considering amending it to exclude until temp normal without medication being used where there is a high temp combined with othe swine flu symptoms, as listed by the NHS:
"If you or a member of your family has a fever or high temperature (over 38C/100.4F) and two or more of the following symptoms, you may have H1N1 flu:
•unusual tiredness
•headache
•runny nose
•sore throat
•shortness of breath or cough
•loss of appetite
•aching muscles
•diarrhoea or vomiting"
The policy on under fives and their risk keeps changing but there is expected to be an explosion in cases once children return to school and I think this will help to protect all families that i care for as well as my own and to keep my business open too which benefits all families!
any one else doing this? what do you think?
