DISCO lifts its pandemic alert for new type influenza
DISCO Corporation established the Pandemic Countermeasures Headquarters in May 2009 as a measure to prevent the spread of any new type influenza and took various actions to minimize the impact upon the business and all stakeholders.
Judging from the current situation with the completion of in-house vaccination and reduction in the number of people infected by the influenza, DISCO has decided to lower the risk level* from "Low" to "Normal," dissolve the Pandemic Countermeasures Headquarters as of the end of February 2010, and stop taking measures to prevent spread of infection.
