SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Fifty traders in Singapore from stockbroking house CIMB-GK Securities have been told to stay home after one of them came down with the H1N1 flu virus.
"We have one confirmed case from the securities side. We are monitoring the situation and have activated our business contingency procedures," a CIMB-GK spokeswoman told Dow Jones Newswires.
These measures include splitting up employees from every department to minimize contact, she said.
CIMB-GK, a unit of Malaysian financial services group CIMB, has about 300 equities traders in Singapore.
The trader caught the flu from his son, who was infected at a popular night club in Singapore''s central business district. The trader has been admitted to hospital for treatment, the spokeswoman said.
"50 fellow occupants of the trading room that the infected remisier was working in have been placed under home quarantine for seven days. They will self-administer temperature checks and report back to work upon a clean bill of health," she said.
Singapore has more than 200 confirmed H1N1 cases, according to the city-state''s Ministry of Health.
