Within the framework of the mandatory weekly screening of employees with rapid antigen testing, the Ministry of Health, clarifies that the program also concerns domestic employees and/or people who are responsible for the care of elderly or disabled people or persons who are unable to take care of themselves. The employer is responsible to inform the employees of their obligation and to supervise their compliance with the provisions of the Decree.

In addition, the program concerns the self-employed, who have to undergo a rapid test on a weekly basis. In particular, employees who do not have a steady workplace and because of the nature of their occupation they work in different premises/houses (e.g. electricians, plumbers, gardeners, etc.), and consequently have contact with more people, should ensure that they get tested on a weekly basis, primarily ensuring their own health and safety.
