Corporates roll up sleeves to tackle pandemic flu

It was a quiet morning in May when Wang Qing arrived at the Lenovo headquarters gate in Shangdi, northern Beijing. To his surprise he saw his fellow workers being held back by corporate security personnel. They were standing in a long queue for temperature testing.

"They took our temperatures one by one. Those with temperatures higher than 38 C were asked to go to the hospital for further examination," Wang, manager, channel sales, Lenovo China Geography, told China Daily.

The temperature test has been a routine one since then. Besides Beijing, every morning, each Lenovo employee in China has to now undergo this test before he starts working.
