Google’s India headquarters based in Hyderabad has shut down one of its offices for two days after one of the employees was confirmed to be suffering from the H1N1 flu virus.
After the employee tested positive, the search engine sent at least 100 employees to the Government General and Chest Hospital at Erragadda to undergo tests. Officials at the hospital said at least half a dozen employees were detected with swine flu symptoms and have been quarantined.
The employee, who had gone to Houston on a training assignment and returned to the city on July 5, passed through the screening at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.
“It appears that he was carrying the virus, which manifested itself only after he joined duty at the Hyderabad office. Others probably contracted infection from him,” Dr K Subhakar, coordinator, H1N1 Influenza nodal centre coordinator set up in Hyderabad, said.
