I did not find an official source on the CDC or Washington DC Department
of Health web sites.  The Washington Post has a story today which
includes Internet companies in a list of high-risk professions.  I
do not know if there is any specific information for including Internet
companies in the list.

  "Anyone with flu-like symptoms -- an elevated white blood count, coughs,
  body aches, respiratory problems -- would be given antibiotics if they
  work in a high-risk profession or had "credible" exposure to anthrax
  bacteria. That includes people who work at postal facilities, general
  mailrooms, media organizations, government offices or Internet
  companies."
