A university graduate who fought discrimination against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers for two years has received a health certificate allowing him to be employed in the food industry.
在与对乙肝病毒携带者的歧视斗争了两年之后,一位大学毕业生终于拿到了允许他从事食品行业的健康证。
在上面的报道中,health certificate就是指“健康证”。健康证标明的是持证人员的身体健康状况,在指定的服务行业实行持证上岗,旨在减少疾病传播,保护大众的健康安全。在此之前,由于对HBV carrier(乙肝病毒携带者)的歧视,很多相关机构,例如community health service center(社区卫生服务中心)不对他们发放health certificate,因此也就无法从事food-related jobs(食品相关行业)。
