The Ministry of human resources and social security and the national health and welfare Commission issued the "emergency notice on resolutely cracking down on employment discrimination against COVID-19 survivors" on the 1st, forbidding employers and human resources service institutions to refuse to recruit (hire) COVID-19 survivors on the ground that they have tested positive for COVID-19 virus nucleic acid. It is strictly prohibited for employers to discriminate against COVID-19 survivors in the process of employment and employment. It is strictly prohibited for the employer to dismiss or dismiss the COVID-19 patients at will. According to the notice, recently, some places have abused the "Health Code" and other detection and query tools to implement employment discrimination against COVID-19 survivors, which has seriously infringed on the equal employment rights and interests of workers, and has strong social repercussions. In order to protect the equal employment rights and interests of COVID-19 patients, the notice requires that the novel coronavirus nucleic acid test query be standardized. Except for the need of epidemic prevention and control and the scientific and reasonable setting of the query period for novel coronavirus nucleic acid test information, no unit or individual shall illegally query the relevant test results without authorization. It is strictly prohibited for employers to publish or entrust to publish recruitment information with discriminatory contents such as positive history of COVID-19 virus nucleic acid test. The notice requires that investigation and inspection should be strengthened. Employers, human resources service institutions or other units and individuals who illegally inquire about nucleic acid test results, set a query period beyond a reasonable time limit, and implement employment discrimination against COVID-19 survivors should be promptly investigated and handled according to the division of responsibilities. Effective measures such as administrative interview, notification and exposure, administrative treatment and administrative punishment should be taken to deal with each case seriously. If the recruitment information contains relevant discriminatory contents, the labor and social security supervision institution shall deal with and punish severely according to laws and regulations. Those involving other employment discrimination or illegal use of nucleic acid detection information shall be dealt with in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The circular also stresses that it is necessary to strengthen supervision, guidance, supervision and inspection, and urge and correct the dereliction of duty and responsibility found within a time limit, and hold relevant units and responsible personnel accountable according to law and regulations. The Ministry of human resources and social security and the National Health Commission will conduct open and covert visits to the implementation of the requirements in various regions in a timely manner to promote the implementation of the requirements.
