BT has offered the following guidance:

“Given the size of our workforce it is inevitable that colleagues have caught, and will continue to catch, the virus. However, there is no reason to panic and people who are well should continue to go to work as normal even if someone in their building has fallen ill with swine flu; the risk to colleagues from this type of occupational contact is very low.

There are no plans to close or evacuate BT buildings and it is hard to imagine circumstances where the health authorities would recommend such a course of action. Travel within the UK and other countries is not restricted, although we have advised our people to minimise all long distance air travel as experience shows that germs spread particularly easily in this situation.”
