Some new -crowned positive recovers have encountered employment and returning to home discrimination. To eliminate this problem, in addition to morality and legal constraints, it is also necessary to strengthen science popularization to make relevant reliable scientific knowledge deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Don't go into the square cabin, don't go through." Recently, job seekers in some places have encountered employment companies to "refuse" to hire them. What's more, some new crown -positive people return to work after recovering, but they have heard that they have been lifted. In fact, this type of discrimination is not only in employment. Previously, there were media reports that after the recovery of new crown patients, they wanted to return to the community or village after recovery. In addition to being rejected, they were also threatened and vicious.

Of course, these discriminations are not desirable, and some are even illegal. The "Prevention and Control Law of infectious Diseases" promulgated by my country stipulates that no unit or individual may discriminate against infectious patients, pathogen carriers, and suspected infectious patients. If you violate, those who discriminate or exclude the suspicion of infectious disease shall bear the corresponding legal responsibility. Similarly, the employment of the original carrier of infectious diseases also stipulates that the employment of the Employment Promotion Law must not be rejected by the original carrier of the infectious disease.

Regarding the employment of the newly -positive rehabilitation, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs has issued a notice specifically that the enterprise shall not terminate the labor contract for the new crown pneumonia patient, the suspected patient, and the close contact with the contact. Some local unions also issued a prompt that for the cure patients with new crown pneumonia, employers cannot refuse to be hired on the grounds of infectious diseases.

When recruiting in some units, they will watch the previous nucleic acid records of job applicants. Once they are found, they will be "veto". In this regard, my country's laws have clearly stipulated that the "Personal Information Protection Law", which was implemented on November 1, 2021, stipulated information such as biometrics, religious beliefs, specific identities, medical health, financial accounts, trajectory trajectory and other information, as well as dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction. Personal information of minors at the age of fourteen is sensitive personal information. It can be seen that the history of personal medical history and the history of infectious medical treatment is also a category of sensitive personal information. Experts said that if it is not for specific purposes and adequate necessity, employers should avoid collecting and processing sensitive personal information such as the history of infectious diseases.

The consequences of the discrimination of the newly -positive rehabilitation are actually very serious. On the one hand, the recovery person may have "social death", with great mental stress, produce a sense of "illness", and even cause some extreme social events, which is not conducive to social stability; on the other hand, due to self -protection instance or some In fact, some positive recovery may choose to report and conceal the report during an official epidemic survey, which is not conducive to the overall prevention and control of the epidemic.

There are also many new crown -infected people infected because they took the initiative to participate in high -risk epidemic prevention work. If these infected people are discriminated against after recovery, who will take the initiative to stand up when facing crisis in the future? This is obviously contrary to the original intention of my country's spiritual civilization.

Why are the new crown -positive rehabilitation easily discriminated against? One important reason is that people's lack of scientific awareness of the new coronary virus. In many people's concepts, the new crown is positive, and even if it is recovery, there is still the possibility of infection. In addition to these, many units or individuals still have many practical considerations. For example, in some places, the epidemic prevention and control "one -size -fits -all", only the result theory, "one person is positive, the entire plant is stopped". To avoid risks, companies may take more extreme "preventive measures" during recruitment. For individuals, if the new crown recovery person is in contact, he may need to be isolated as a close person. Those who are unwilling to recover in some communities and towns also have considerations to reduce the risk of epidemic prevention and control.

If you want to fundamentally eliminate such discrimination, in addition to criticizing and condemning morality and correcting public opinion, you need to strengthen legal supervision and protect the right to equal employment of new positive rehabilitation. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen popular science propaganda to allow relevant science to popularize protective measures. Studies have shown that after the treatment of new crown patients, after the medical observation of medical observations, the symptoms have produced corresponding antibodies in their bodies, and cases that have not been observed have not yet been observed. Even if a small number of rehabilitation recovered, there is no infectiousness. Of course, it is also necessary to focus on the actual concern of enterprises, units and regions, and promote the precision and specialization of epidemic prevention and control measures, and refuse to "cut one -sizehand". For those positive, you can further accurately analyze the cause and degree of positive when doing flow, and then classify the units, regions, and close contacts of the case according to the actual situation to maximize the recruitment units, community villages and ordinary public, etc. Concerns.
