Union says the risk of getting infected through a breathalyser is high as the virus is concentrated in one place

The union also called on the departments of health, education employment & labour, and trade & industry “to communicate clearly to employers, workers and citizens, and make use of all available medium of communication to educate the nation and combat this virus”.

“To manage the risk of contamination effectively, employers should consider appointing an internal committee of professionals. The committee will be responsible for issues such as monitoring the spread of Covid-19, assessing the risk of contamination and taking measures to ensure that the workplace is healthy and safe.”
