TORONTO, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Microbix Biosystems Inc. has developed and implemented a plan so that its employees and their families are protected as much as possible in the event of an influenza pandemic. Now the company is making its Pandemic Response Plan and ToolKit(TM) available to other organizations and individuals.
Of greatest concern right now is deadly avian flu virus, H5N1, which has been found in birds in more than 30 countries. It has spread to 14 new countries in a month and infected 191 people, killing 108 of them. Many health experts warn that if H5N1 mutates so that it can be passed from human to human, it will result in a pandemic killing millions and wreaking havoc on the world economy.
