In the unlikely event you present with cold/flu like symptoms during your Work Week our staff will provide local G.P. details. If you are diagnosed with swine flu you may have to be isolated until you have fully recovered, which may be up to 2 weeks. This may incur a cost to yourself, therefore Trees for Life highly recommend you take out personal insurance.
