On Friday morning, the World Health Organization declared that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has reached the proportions of an international health emergency. The disease has killed almost 1,000 people and infected hundreds more in Africa, and two Americans have been transported back to the U.S. from Africa for treatment for the disease—with a general counsel flying the plane.
For now, the Ebola threat in U.S. workplaces remains low. However, companies will do no harm in making sure they have policies that keep the office healthy and safe.
