Standards of contracting for independent contractors

No independent contractor may be terminated or prohibited from contracting with the institution solely because they have or they are perceived to have a significant contagious disease. If the independent contractor is capable of performing the work, or reasonable accommodations can be made to allow the independent contractor to perform the work, and the independent contractor does not constitute a public health threat to others, as determined by a personal physician, the independent contractor must be permitted to contract with the institution.
