The World Health Organization (WHO) chief recently announced that the H1N1 pandemic is over. Director-General Margaret Chan said the world was lucky that the virus did not mutate into a deadlier form and that the vaccine developed remained effective against it.
Although the threat of an H1N1 pandemic that could have resulted in business interruption or other disruptions has now subsided, the H1N1 virus continues to threaten high-risk groups including pregnant women and the elderly. Flu experts say that influenza viruses have notoriously unpredictable behavior and no two pandemics are alike.
With an eye to the future, it is important that every business consider its plan in the case of a business interruption due to pandemics or other catastrophic events.
