Employers discouraged from sending home employees on quarantine

By Aaron Humes: Dr. Marvin Manzanero has told employers not to arbitrarily send home workers, even those believed to have contacts with potential cases as they do not have the capacity to test routinely and simply will not sign certificates for sick leave for this purpose.
