53-8-220. Employee health.
When the commissioner has reasonable cause to suspect possible disease transmission by an employee of a facility, the commissioner may secure a morbidity history of the employee or make other investigations as may be indicated. The commissioner may require any of the following:
(1) The immediate exclusion of the employee from employment in the retail food store;
(2) The immediate closing of the facility until, in the commissioner's opinion, no further danger of disease outbreak exists;
(3) Restriction of the employee's service to some area of the facility where there would be little likelihood of transmitting disease; or
(4) Adequate medical and laboratory examinations of the employee and of other employees.
