The Center for Disease Control and Prevention have written an information article on how to help prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus in the workplace.  Here is a link to the article;  http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/guidance/workplace.htm

The article has links to CDC posters that can be put up in your workplace.  It mentions many ways to protect workplace employees such as providing hand sanitizer  as well as tissues to cover coughs and sneezes.  Cleantech can provide many of these prevention mediums to your workplace, just contact our office or our sales department.
