An email was circulated XXX-wide about this foreign visitor to our premises for a meeting. He was subsequently confirmed a victim of H1N1. The 13 XXX staff in the same meeting room as that guy was immediately given Home Quarantine 'Orders' by MOH I think....
It so happened that me and 2 other colleagues had been in the same XXX shuttle bus as one of the 13 staff involved on the same day after their meeting. That makes us 3 a 'Secondary' contact. The first thought coming into my mind was, "Wow! H1N1 IS HERE!!"
It had never crossed my mind what I would do if I were to come into contact with it but now that I've been in potential contact, I'm kinda in a lost of my next steps.... I've lost my usual self for the rest of the day. When I got home, I got Zarah to buy Dettol and disinfect the necessary places, especially my chair, table, lappy, etc... I also informed my siblings to stay away from here IF they are not comfortable about me being a 'Secondary' contact. At the same time, I'm also keeping track of my body conditions for any unusual signs and ring 993 if yes.
I'd be going to Bangkok this weekend and am supposed to serve a XXX-mandated 3-days quarantine when I return, using my own AL!!! This is the part that got me mad.... I mean.... I've book this trip B4 MOH added Thailand to the list of 'affected countries'. Why penalised me for planning ahead? It would be more appropriate if XXX can impose the AL portion on staff who deliberately booked tours to 'affected countries' AFTER that country had been listed. For those like me, record the quarantined days as MC....
Good idea?
