This bill is of utmost importance to the workers of Atlasia.  There's no reason that a medical episode should threaten employment for anyone.  If we are to remain a healthy nation -- a nation of middle class working heroes -- then we must enshrine into law these protections of our work force. Pass this bill!

Can someone explain the logic of Section 2.3 to me? Five and fourteen days don't exactly line up with each other.

It's related to the contact-tracing app we have utilized.
