Contacts or Carriers of Infectious Disease.
Circular 115/48 of the Ministry of Health empowers the Medical
Officer of Health to issue certificates to persons who have teen in
contact with or who are carriers of infectious disease, thus enabling
them to claim sickness benefit under the National Insurance Acts, when
he deems it necessary to require a contact or carrier of infectious
disease to stay away from work. During the year under review two
such certificates were issued.
