(1) A local health officer or the department may restrict a person employed in direct care of children, the elderly, or individuals who are otherwise at a high risk for disease from practicing an occupation while infected by a reportable disease if, given the means of transmission of the disease in question, the nature of the person's work would tend to spread the disease.

(2) No infectious person may engage in any occupation involving the preparation, serving, or handling of food, including milk, to be consumed by others than his/her immediate family, until a local health officer determines him/her to be free of the infectious agent or unlikely to transmit the infectious agent due to the nature of his/her particular work.
