What should I do if an employee is diagnosed after returning to work? Who is responsible if an employee is infected after returning to work?

What should we do if an employee is diagnosed with the virus after we resume work? Should we give all employees a collective holiday, or should we ask the diagnosed employee to go to the hospital for quarantine? During the epidemic, the company suffered serious losses. We want to let employees come to work, but we are also worried about being held responsible if they are diagnosed. Next, let's see who will be held responsible if an employee is infected after returning to work.

What to do if an employee is diagnosed after resuming work

He Qinghua, head of the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission: If a confirmed patient is found in an enterprise or a factory after the resumption of work, we must first fully understand the close contacts of the confirmed patient. First, we must understand clearly with the patient who he has recently contacted and where he has been. Secondly, we must also understand clearly with the employees of the unit who have contacted him and where he has been. Through understanding, we can find close contacts and implement centralized quarantine observation for these close contacts. If these close contacts are found to have health problems during this period, they should seek medical treatment immediately.

If the patient is not discovered early and the disease is widely transmitted in the workplace or enterprise, then certain measures must be taken against the enterprise or enterprise. If the case is discovered early and strict medical observation measures are taken for close contacts, there is no need to close the enterprise or enterprise.

Who is responsible if employees are infected after returning to work?

In the prevention and treatment of the new coronavirus pneumonia, medical staff and related personnel who are infected with the new coronavirus pneumonia or die from the new coronavirus pneumonia due to the performance of their duties should be recognized as work-related injuries and enjoy work-related injury insurance benefits in accordance with the law.

For other types of employees infected with the virus, it is impossible to determine whether the employee was infected at work, at home, on the way to get off work, or in other places, or whether they were infected by multiple people. Because the new coronavirus has an incubation period of 7-14 days or even longer, and there are no obvious symptoms when infected, it is impossible to determine that the employee contracted the disease due to the performance of work duties, and the causal relationship required for the determination of work-related injuries is basically impossible to determine. Therefore, it is generally difficult to determine work-related injuries.
