What must a food handler with an infected hand wound do?

A food handler with an infected hand wound must immediately stop working and report the injury to their supervisor. They should cover the wound with a waterproof bandage and wear gloves if they are permitted to return to work. However, if the infection poses a risk of contamination, the food handler should be excluded from food handling duties until the wound is properly treated and healed. It's essential to maintain food safety and prevent the spread of pathogens.
