It is compulsory to be vaccinated against many of these diseases. (like getting flu vaccine during winter) to stop you from getting sick and to stop the epidemics. However not all diseases can be prevented in this way. Going to work when you are not feeling well is not a good idea. Many illness are not contagious and be spread amongst your colleagues through the air or through contract. (example Flu, Cold , Pink-eye and the deadly coronavirus.) Because of the coronavirus we can’t go to school and work because it is very contagious. If you as a employee are sick you must not force yourself to go to work , instead go and see a doctor.
