Private sector asked to direct employees to COVID-19 testing facilities

Muscat: The Ministry of Manpower has requested employers in the private sector to ask any employees showing Coronavirus symptoms to get tested for COVID-19.

The Ministry said in a statement that in order to ensure safety of citizens, private sector institutions should direct their employees towards Coronavirus testing facilities or health institutions "in case a worker has Coronavirus symptoms or suspicion that one of them is infected."

The Ministry warned that violation of guidelines for detection of cases of infection would invite legal action from competent authorities.
