Employers can be penalised for stopping workers from self-quarantine

PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Employers who prevent workers from undergoing self-quarantine while waiting for their Covid-19 test results can be penalised under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342), says Health Minister Datuk Dr Adham Baba.

He said workers who are positive must undergo compulsory quarantine for 10 days, while those negative should go into self-isolation.
