Singapore dialysis units take H1N1 seriously

By Bill Peckham

In Singapore dialysis units are implementing social distancing measures to limit the spread of H1N1 flu...(http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/438732/1/.html) In the photo accompanying the Channel News Asia story it appears that people - both patients and staff - are wearing surgical masks which is another non pharmaceutical intervention that could be used to limit the spread of the pandemic flu virus.

US dialysis providers should be discussing these and other NPIs to prepare for what looks to be a very challenging flu season just three short months away.
