Businesses report fewer workers are getting sick - because of the pandemic

The Employment and Manufacturers Association has revealed there was almost no workplace influenza last year.
Chief Executive Brett O'Riley has put it down to ramped-up hand hygiene and safety measures, enforced for Covid-19.
He says workplaces are also strongly encouraging people to stay home if they're sick.
He says we've almost had the opposite attitude in New Zealand until now, where people are told to tough it out.
