On 24 June 2009, the Department of Human Services released a statement about a new stage ‘Protect’ to manage the impact of H1N1.
‘This phase recognises infections of Human Swine Flu have not been as severe as first thought in the majority of the Australian Population. Currently the majority of people experiencing flu-like symptoms are making a full recovery without medical treatment. People with mild flu-like symptoms should stay home’.
Our Archbishop gave the similar advice a few weeks ago that Catholics with the flu should stay home, not attending Mass for the sake of the common good.
