MUSCAT: The Ministry of Manpower has asked private sector companies in Oman to send their employees who show coronavirus (Covid-19) symptoms for testing.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Ministry also said it will take legal action against companies that violate the measures. “The Ministry requests private sector institutions to direct their workers to check for the Coronavirus at health institutions in case a worker has coronavirus symptoms or suspicion that one of them is infected,” Manpower said.

Oman on Wednesday confirmed the highest single-day spike of 168 coronavirus cases, taking the total tally to 2903.
