As a precautionary measure, both companies have started sanitising their offices.
A
positive case of H1N1 (swine flu) has been detected at the Bengaluru
office of e-commerce giant Amazon. The employee did not show any
signs of flu while at work and had stopped coming to office five days
ago, said a source.
“As
a precautionary measure, Amazon
is sanitising the floor on which the employee worked. All the
employees who came in contact
with the patient prior to him going on leave have been informed,”
added the source. The company has advised these employees to work
from home and take immediate medical help if they start showing any
signs of flu. Amazon confirmed the development to Business Standard.
In
another development, an employee of the research and development
centre of Mercedes
Benz in Bengaluru was also tested positive for H1N1. As a
precautionary measure, the company has started sanitising its offices
as well, said a source.
Last
month, two employees of software company SAP, too, had tested
positive in Bengaluru. The Indian arm of the German software group
company had then shut down all offices in the country from February
20-28 for sanitisation.
