It is understood that the Regulations on the Implementation of the Food Safety Law promulgated by China in 2111 has clearly stipulated that hepatitis B virus carriers are no longer prohibited from engaging in the catering industry. On this basis, the pre-job hepatitis B test of four types of professionals, including chefs and restaurant waiters, was cancelled. Specific provisions are as follows: If the personnel who work in contact with directly imported food suffer from digestive tract infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever, viral hepatitis A and viral hepatitis E, as well as diseases that hinder food safety such as active pulmonary tuberculosis, suppurative or exudative skin diseases, food producers and operators shall adjust them to other jobs that do not affect food safety. The above regulations show that patients with hepatitis B can engage in catering and other related industries, as long as they avoid some relatively sensitive positions.
However, the health certificate for hepatitis B virus carriers must be based on normal liver function, that is, normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in liver function, and negative antibodies to hepatitis A and hepatitis E, so they can apply for a health certificate in the CDC under their jurisdiction.
It needs to be clear that hepatitis B virus carriers are not the same as hepatitis B patients. In general, hepatitis B virus carriers have normal liver function and no obvious disease manifestations, and their daily life and work are no different from ordinary people. Most importantly, many people don't know that even daily intimate contact, such as hugs, handshakes and * * * meals, will not cause the spread of hepatitis B virus.
