68-14-321. Employee health.

When the commissioner has reasonable cause to suspect possible disease transmission by an employee of the 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 hotel, food service establishment or public pool;

     (2)  The immediate closing of the facility until, in the commissioner's opinion, no further danger of disease outbreak exists;

     (3)  Restricting 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.
