Employers should accept digital HSO and RO

Feb 25, 2022

Employers have been told to accept screenshots of the digital home surveillance order and release order from workers who are ordered to undergo quarantine. 

This, instead of requiring staff to get written proof from Covid-19 Assessment Centres, or CACs. 

The Health Director General says this is to prevent overcrowding at such centres. 

He also stressed that CACs are primarily meant to focus on health evaluation and treatment, and cases that need specific attention.
