ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. announced Tuesday that its two employees have been infected with the influenza A(H1N1) virus.

The network said that the two employees are "already safe and recovering," and that it is closely coordinating with the Department of Health (DOH) regarding the cases.

"Company officials have been closely coordinating with the Department of Health on the cases and have also conducted contact tracing to check on the health conditions of the people who may have been exposed to the two individuals," Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN's Corporate Communications, said in a statement.

Aside from this, Osorio said ABS-CBN has already implemented measures to prevent the new influenza virus from infecting other employees.

These, he said, include face-to-face briefings, regular flu advisory updates, installation of hand sanitizers around the ABS-CBN buildings in Quezon City, regular flu vaccination for employees and their dependents, as well as random body temperature checking of studio audiences and visitors entering ABS-CBN compound.

Meanwhile, Osorio assured that the ABS-CBN compound has been "disinfected" over the weekend.

"The network will continue its normal operations and will continue to promote safety and vigilance against the A(H1N1) virus," the ABS-CBN official said.
