The Isle of Man Government has unveiled its plan to help businesses cope with the spread of swine flu.
The plan admits the Island will face a challenge maintaining services so that normal life can go on.
It is predicted that up to 20 per cent of the Manx workforce could be absent with swine flu at any one time.
An existing 50 page plan outlines what the Island must do to manage and recover from the long-predicted influenza pandemic.
And today the government has unveiled an updated version including information on dealing specifically with swine flu.
Advice on how to protect against infection and reduce the risk of passing on the virus is included.
The Isle of Man is still in the containment phase for the virus, but more cases are expected.
The plan can be found online at gov.im/cso or gov.im/swineflu
