• Where can I get information on health and safety in the workplace?

• What happens if an employee or their family member is sick with coronavirus?

• What if an employee is stuck overseas or required to be quarantined?

• What if an employee wants to stay home as a precaution?

• What if an employer wants their staff to stay home?
