The Ministry of Labour yesterday instructed all factories and enterprises nationwide to conduct Covid-19 rapid tests on employees when they return to work after the Pchum Ben holidays. According to a statement issued by Minister of Labor Ith Samheng yesterday, the move is to ensure the smooth flow of business activities and prevent the large-scale spread of Covid-19, especially the Delta variant.

 

He said the employers must ensure they have enough rapid test kits to cover all employees.He added that all workers must participate in the Covid-19 rapid test prepared by owners. Any worker who refuses to undergo rapid testing will be deemed to have violated the rules on security and hygiene discipline as stipulated in Article 83 of the Labour Law and existing regulations which allow the employer to dismiss the workers.

 

Workers have also been told they must notify the Ministry of Labour via Telegram if the employer fails to conduct Covid-19 rapid tests after the Pchum Ben holidays.
