For these nationally scheduled groups, COVID-19 should be screened periodically every 7 to 10 days.

According to the Government Resolution, representatives of certain works and activities that are prohibited, restricted during quarantine and who have constant direct contact with other people must consult with COVID-19 before starting work or activities after lifting the prohibitions or restrictions. .

The test will only be required once before returning to work. This obligation applies to employees who work in the following areas:
