The reason I asked is that a number of companies (including ours) have put restrictions on international travel (and in some cases mandated quarantine periods for staff returning from overseas), yet there are more cases in Melbourne than some of the countries concerned. For example, Melbourne has more confirmed cases than Japan, which recently shut 2800 schools for a week in the Osaka/Kobe prefectures.
I'm not worried personally about catching swine flu, but I can bet that any business would not be impressed to have all of their staff quarantined in their homes by the Dept of Health for a week. Pretty hard to earn revenue with nobody in the office. Smart businesses will be managing potential risks.
