Unlawful disposal of Covid-19 tests
A fine was imposed on a physician for improperly disposing of Covid-19 Antigen Rapid Test detections, both positive and negative, in his practice.
Instead of properly disposing of the test results, they were simply placed in a trash bag next to a public bottle bank. No precautions were taken to prevent third parties from viewing the results.
