All of the employees were exposed to Burkholderia Pseudomallei and placed under medical surveillance as well as being offered post-exposure prophylaxis. Only one of the employees accepted treatment. As of April 15, 2019, two of the five potentially exposed employees had seroconverted, but none were symptomatic.
