UAE: Employers, school heads obliged to report Covid cases
UAE’s Federal Public Prosecution has clarified that principals of educational institutions and managers of establishments are obliged by law to inform health authorities if a student or worker is found to be infected with a communicable disease, such as Covid-19.
The article further states that the concerned authority must isolate the infected person as well as any direct contacts, and will be well within their rights to refuse the infected person entry into the facility until he or she has fulfilled all conditions determined by the ministry or the health department.
The Federal Prosecution has earlier clarified that anyone failing to report Covid infections to the relevant authorities is liable to a fine of up to Dh50,000.
