So, by your understanding, is it still OK for a person to take cold and flu meds as long they are willing to be stood down pending the results of a lab test? If the results come back as codeine then everyone is free to go their separate way?
Frieght.dog, when I checked that was the exact advice from the consultant doctor our company is using. However, we don't have pilots and it may be different for you airborne people.
As for the negative connotations of an initial positive, we will all have to be careful not to cast the first stone and make negative assumptions until the lab tests are through.
Lasiorhinus and glenb, thanks for that, I had wondered that myself and CASA have not been free with explanations.
