Personal HygieneQuestion 382 of 500
A server was excluded for vomiting with no diagnosis from a doctor. What is the shortest path back to work under the Food Code?
a.She is asymptomatic for at least 24 hours
b.She is asymptomatic for at least 8 hours
c.She keeps her next two scheduled shifts off
d.She agrees to work only in the dining room
Explanation
An employee excluded for vomiting or diarrhea without a diagnosis may be reinstated once she has been asymptomatic for at least 24 hours, or once she gives the person in charge written medical documentation that the symptom came from a noninfectious condition. Working a different station does not shorten that window.
