Change in Illness Certification Laws: End of Telephone Medical Certificates

No more telephone medical certificates! The new changes in health policies clearly indicate that illness cannot be reported without an in-person visit. This decision, recently announced by the ruling coalition, mandates that illness certificates must be presented in person from day one.
