The Star reported the Philippine health department recording a 31% rise in flu-like illness over two weeks to 15,042 cases, with Metro Manila most flagged and vaccination stepped up for high-risk groups. What should Thai offices prepare?
The Star reported on 4 November 2026 that flu-like illness rose 31% to 15,042 cases from 1 to 14 October, up from 11,517 two weeks earlier.
17 provinces and cities were flagged, Metro Manila most of all; the department stepped up vaccination for high-risk groups and advised hygiene and masks for people with symptoms.
Thai offices seat staff close together in air-conditioned rooms with shared meeting rooms, lifts and pantries. Flu vaccination is the main measure; work-from-home for sick staff, masks for those with symptoms and cleaning keyboards, meeting tables and lift buttons are supporting measures.

If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Q: Can office fogging replace flu vaccines? A: No. Vaccines are the main protection and cleaning supports them. After ULV fogging the area is usable in about 30 minutes.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
The Philippines shows flu-like illness rises fast in big cities. Offices with clear health policies keep work running.
