TRAVEL POLICY GUIDELINES - ORANGE
AWARENESS LEVEL - INCREASING IMPLEMENTATION |
| If traveling to areas WITH reports of outbreaks of Bird Flu among poultry or of human-to-human cases: |
|
Before You Travel Consider the need for the trip in the first place. If possible hold the meeting instead using voice/video conferencing. If the trip is unavoidable: Complete Travel Application Form. Fill in as much detail as possible including destination(s), durations, persons who you are likely to be in contact with and your contact phone numbers at all stopovers. Purchase flexible return tickets so you may evacuate the area at short notice. Assemble a travel health care kit (or purchase one) containing basic first aid and medical supplies. Be sure to include a thermometer, face masks and alcohol-based hand gel for hand hygiene. Educate yourself by reviewing current alert travel policies and recommendations, check the media for the latest travel advisories, check the latest outbreak news and educate others who may be traveling with you. Be sure you are up to date with all your routine vaccinations, and see your doctor or health-care provider. You may wish to check your health insurance plan or get additional insurance that covers medical evacuation in the event of illness. |
|
During Your Stay Avoid all direct contact with poultry, including touching well-appearing, sick, or dead chickens and ducks. Avoid places such as poultry farms and bird markets where live poultry are raised or kept, and avoid handling surfaces contaminated with poultry feces or secretions. As with other infectious illnesses, one of the most important preventive practices is careful and frequent hand washing. Cleaning your hands often with soap and water removes potentially infectious material from your skin and helps prevent disease transmission. Waterless alcohol-based hand gels may be used when soap is not available and hands are not visibly soiled. All foods from poultry, including eggs and poultry blood should be cooked thoroughly. Egg yolks should not be runny or liquid. Because influenza viruses are destroyed by heat, the cooking temperature for poultry meat should be 74C (165F). Avoid being in close proximity to sick persons and maintain a distance of at least one metre between yourself and others during meetings. Remain in contact with the office on a daily basis. Immediately report any concerns to Human Resources. Carry extra cash in case of emergencies. |
|
If You Become Sick While Away If you become sick with symptoms such as a fever accompanied by a cough, sore throat, or difficulty breathing or if you develop any illness that requires prompt medical attention seek medical assistance immediately. Your country's consulate services can assist you in locating medical services and informing your family or friends. Inform Human Resources. You should defer further travel until you are free of symptoms, unless traveling locally for medical care. |
|
After Your Return Monitor your health for 10 days. If you have not been exposed to poultry and have not shown any signs or symptoms of influenza then you may return to the office without quarantine. |
|
If You Become Sick While Back at Home If you become ill with a fever plus a cough, sore throat, or trouble breathing during this 10-day period, consult a health-care provider immediately. Before you visit a health-care setting, tell the provider the following: - your symptoms - where you traveled, and - if you have had direct contact with poultry or close contact with a severely ill person. Inform and regularly update Human Resources of your condition and immediate needs. Do not travel locally while ill, unless you are seeking medical care. Limiting contact with others as much as possible can help prevent the spread of an infectious illness. |
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU TRAVEL TO COUNTRIES OR PARTS OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE W.H.O. HAVE ADVISED AGAINST DOING SO, YOUR TRAVEL INSURANCE MAY BE INVALIDATED. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR INSURER FIRST.
