Temperature checking is a measure that has been implemented around the world. I will go back to something previous speakers have raised. I was talking to people who work in these factories before coming to this meeting and there is a high level of concern due to the lack of sick leave. While it may be provided in certain factories, other factories do not provide sick leave. If someone is in a precarious situation and is on a low income it is just not financially realistic to be taking sick days when one is unsure if one is even sick. There is a concern that Panadol is being taken by some people before going into work. Is that something the witnesses have come across or raised with factories?
