Employers who dismiss overseas Filipino workers who test positive for COVID-19 will be held liable, the Consulate General of the Philippines in Hong Kong, Raly Tejada, said on Sunday (Feb. 20).
This was after there was a spike in cases in Hong Kong.
According to Tejada, those employers attempting to terminate contracts with their Filipino employees because they tested positive for COVID-19 will be blacklisted.
Around 10 Filipinos have been rescued after being dismissed by their employers for testing positive for COVID-19. – With reports from Cleizl Pardilla/PG – bny
