“The Public Prosecution”: The school principal must report cases of infection

The State Public Prosecution explained, through a film material that it published on its accounts on social media, the obligations of the director of the educational institution or other establishments in the event of an infection with any of the communicable diseases such as “Corona” disease among any of the students or employees of the facility.

The Public Prosecution noted that according to Article 12 of Federal Law No. 14 of 2014 regarding the control of communicable diseases, which stipulates that “if the director of an educational institution or other facility suspects that any of the students or employees of the facility has contracted a communicable disease, he must refer The person suspected of being infected shall be referred to the competent doctor to examine him and give him a report showing his condition. If it is proven that he has this disease, he must inform the Ministry or the health authority about it immediately, and take appropriate measures to prevent the spread of the disease.”

The director of the educational institution or other establishment, the ministry and the health authority shall isolate the injured and those who are in contact with him, or quarantine them, whether by preventing them from attending the facility or in any way that prevents them from mixing with others, taking into account the periods indicated in Table No. 2 attached to this law, or that determined by the Ministry and the health authority.

Also, the director of an educational institution or other facility may not accept the return of a person with a communicable disease to the facility from which he was removed, except after fulfilling all the conditions determined by the Ministry or the health authority for the patient’s return to the facility to which he belongs.

The publication of these legal tweets coincides with the beginning of the new academic year, and within the framework of the State’s Public Prosecution’s keenness to promote legal culture among all members of society, raise awareness and address the “Corona” pandemic.
