Swine Flu visits Long Island City

Yes, well this is not everyone’s favorite topic, but a case of swine flu has been confirmed in Long Island City – a worker at the Citigroup building (the little tower, not the big one) has been officially diagnosed and is recovering.

“Citigroup Inc., the third-biggest U.S. bank by assets, said an employee at one of its offices in the New York City borough of Queens has been diagnosed with swine flu and is expected to make a full recovery. The Long Island City building in Queens is being “professionally disinfected,” Citigroup said in a statement yesterday.”

In addition to ‘professionally disinfecting’, Citigroup is actively supporting increased hygiene among its employees by posting this graphic suggesting a rigorous hand-washing protocol in the building’s bathrooms »
