When u get chicken pox, the virus is not killed even after u are cured , but remains latent and hides in your spine. For some people, it comes out years later and you get what is known as Shingles (chinese snake). The chicken pox virus is from your own body, not from others.
According to health promotion board, chicken pox is contagious and infectious, So, under the law, can reject pax right?
Can, but reject nicely lah, paxs will understand.
Sorry brother, I am the sole breadwinner of my family, if you transmit to me, I will have to stay at home for few weeks, like this, I will lose money, and I got, 2 granparents, 2 parents, 2 wivies, 5 childrens + 1 maid to take care and 2 old parent in laws to take care...
Actually, it is not so much about us, TDs getting infected or having a poor attitude. The virus can be spread through body fluids and indirectly through fluids left behind on the seats, door handles, door etc in the taxi.
The next pax could be a pregnant woman and she can get infected through such means. It would be severe for her and could cause stillbirth or deformities in her baby.
