China has observed a significant increase in respiratory illnesses over the past couple of weeks and months, particularly among vulnerable groups such as young children and the elderly. The trend is expected to spike. The health authority attributed this increase to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the circulation of known pathogens such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenoviruses, and SARS-CoV-2.


In response to the surge, what should organizations do to safeguard the health and well-being of their workforce (and their families) while ensuring business continuity?


Top tips from our panel of experts:

  • Quick overview of the current respiratory illness situation
  • WHO and International SOS recommendations
  • High-risk employee populations and the implication of not protecting them
  • Advice to organizations: workplace prevention measures
  • Advice to individuals and families: prevent and treat mycoplasma pneumonia
